Infectious Diseases Dept: Hundreds of medical professionals are protesting government cuts to the interim federal health program, which provides extended health-care benefits to refugees. It s expected that medical professionals in Vancouver will stage a similar demonstration Monday, according to Montreal Gazette. And for what? Further isolation and suffering, the spread of infectious diseases, increased wait times at our hospital emergency departments. Canada is way better than this and oTTAWA Doctors threw on their white coats Monday and rushed to Parliament Hill, which they say is the scene for the start of a national medical emergency: deteriorating refugee health. We are launching into an uncontrolled, disastrous, human health experience by arbitrarily denying life-saving medical care to some of the most vulnerable and traumatized people in the whole world, said Dr. Mark Tyndall, the head of infectious diseases at the Ottawa hospital.
