Canadian Population and Tim Holland

Tim Holland: Tim Holland is a Truro doctor who is trying to get government support for clinic space for refugees. "The health needs of this population are distinctly different from that of the regular Canadian population," said Holland. , according to CBC. Holland says that without medical services for refugees, the rest of the system clogs when people go to emergency rooms for basic health care services. Nova Scotians who advocate for better treatment of refugees say people need better health care when they arrive in Canada. "Theres of course the obvious issues that would come up with the move from a country where they ve been persecuted, as well as time spent in refugee health camps. But, as well, there can be unmet needs such as diabetes screening and blood pressure screening." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
