Prenatal Care and Interim Federal Health Program

Interim Federal Health Program: The revised health program measures unveiled Tuesday, which include medication for children and prenatal care, will be in effect only until Ottawa has exhausted legal avenues in the battle over whether its health-care program for refugee claimants is unconstitutional, according to The Star. Our government is complying with the recent federal court decision by implementing new measures under the Interim Federal Health Program . Our position has not changed, Alexander said in a statement and All refugees in various stages of the asylum process can once again access basic Canadian health care, after the federal government reluctantly agreed to comply with a court-ordered reinstatement. Immigration Minister Chris Alexander stressed that the new measures are just temporary and maintained that the government will continue to appeal the offside court decision against the cuts.
