Northern Ontarians face many of the same health problems as Southern Ontarians. The shortage of family doctors in both regions leaves large parts of the population under serviced. Emergency rooms and walk-in-clinics are viable options for those in the more urban centres, but for those without a home address or access to transportation, it might not be quite so easy. For people in the far north, especially in remote communities, the only way to get access to medical treatment may be to travel a fair distance, which makes receiving medical attention a difficult proposition.

Actually family medicine and family physicians play a very important role in the healthcare system of a country. In U.S., for example, nearly one in four of all office visits are made to family physicians
