Children Hospital of Eastern Ontario and Infectious Diseases

Lindy Samson: Lindy Samson, the chief of the division of infectious diseases, according to CTV. We’re going to look after the health of children and youth as they arrive in Ottawa from Syria and other parts of the world. In Ottawa, the Children Hospital of Eastern Ontario is ready to tackle the newcomers’ medical and mental health needs, said Dr. This is something that we do on an ongoing basis, given the make-up of Ottawa community, Samson told CTV Canada AM Tuesday. But many of them will still require health care services, especially babies, children and youth who have likely missed basic check-ups and vaccinations during the war in Syria and while living in refugee camps, Samson said. All refugees will receive a medical check-up and get screened for infectious diseases, including tuberculosis, before they arrive in Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
