IFH National Day of Action for Refugee Health

National Day of Action for Refugee Health: Medical professionals, volunteers and and people from the community gathered to take part in the National Day of Action for Refugee Health. Cutting the IFH makes it hard for refugees to access basic healthcare within Canada, according to Metro News. Rallies were held in 20 other Canadian cities today to increase awareness about what the cuts mean for refugee patients and Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here shouted a crowd of people protesting the cuts to the Interim Federal Health Program IFH outside the Dalhousie Medical School on Monday. I think it detrimental to Canada to allow people to come to this country and feel safe and feel protected under healthcare, said Mark Harris, a healthcare professional who volunteers with the Halifax Refugee Clinic.
