Mass Resignation of OB/GYNs Sparks Maternity Care Crisis in Kamloops

    

                                           Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.

Maternity care in the Interior region is facing a major setback after seven obstetrician-gynecologists at Royal Inland Hospital resigned their in-hospital privileges, citing unsafe workloads, chronic staff shortages, and a lack of institutional support.

In a letter dated October 11, 2025, the physicians — Dr. Hilary Baikie, Dr. Jennifer Kozic, Dr. Paula Lott, Dr. Erin Adams, Dr. Michael Hsiao, Dr. Rita Chuang, and Dr. Christine Sutton — informed community healthcare providers of their decision. They pointed to years of escalating pressures, including difficulty recruiting new specialists, which they say have compromised patient safety and physician well-being.

Local MLAs have raised alarms, warning that the resignations could leave Kamloops without specialist women’s health services within months if urgent action is not taken. Interior Health has yet to announce a concrete plan to address the staffing crisis, though officials previously acknowledged “potential changes” to maternity services in the region.

The resignations highlight a broader strain on B.C.’s healthcare system, where physicians have repeatedly warned that without stronger provincial support, access to safe and reliable maternity care will continue to erode.
