    Skska forwarded the email she sent to the office of the governor 10 days ago to Osborne. She received a reply Sunday night. Osborn thanked her and said that the Ministry of Health staff would contact her soon. Skska said: Let's wait and see.


    Ukrainian doctor Marina Skska said she was frustrated by the lack of communication from the Newfoundland government and she was not the only one who felt that way.


    In order to escape the war, Skska came to Canada with his family in June this year and settled in St. Johns, Newfoundland. She said she hoped to start work as soon as possible, but the emails she sent to the provincial government were like rocks and rocks until the night of Sunday (July 17).


    After the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian War, the Newfoundland Provincial Government set up an office in Warsaw, Poland, and also booked a plane to bring Ukrainian refugees to Newfoundland . Skska said she understood she needed training and exams to re-practice medicine. But she believes the provincial government can help speed up the process.


    At the same time, the neighboring province of Nova Scotia, which also lacks doctors, began to poach without hesitation, not only invited Ukrainian medical staff who have arrived in Newfoundland, but also attracted them with benefits such as housing and child care. But at least so far, Skska has not been moved.


    Community activist who helps Ukrainian refugees settle their homes said that Newfoundland is so short of doctors, and nearly one-quarter of the population does not have family doctors. We should welcome Ukrainian doctors here on the red carpet. He believes that Newfoundland should provide Ukrainian doctors with the same treatment as Nova Scotia.


    Houdon posted a post on social media on Sunday about the distress of Ukrainian doctors. The post was retweeted in large numbers, attracting the attention of newly appointed provincial health minister Tom Osborne. In his message, he asked the doctors to contact his office or the governor's office directly.
