Nurse Practitioner: Hamilton Centre for Newcomer Health HNCH

Hamilton Centre for Newcomer Health HNCH: Sue Grafe, a nurse practitioner with the Hamilton Centre for Newcomer Health HNCH , receives refugee patients who under current government law are ineligible for basic health care, according to CTV. In one example, a Hungarian woman who fled her home country and is waiting for her refugee hearing has learned that she is pregnant, but the staff at HNCH are unable to check her for a fetal heartbeat and On the heels of World Refugee Day and protests by Canadian doctors who claim refugees are not receiving the most basic human health care, clinics on the ground face difficult decisions. I want Canadians to know its not about the extras, its about the basics that are being denied, Grafe told News. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
