infection prevention services: Now that most of the families have found permanent housing, those shelters are set to close at the end of the month, according to Metro News. That means refugees may no longer have access to Toronto Public Health services like vaccinations, infection prevention services and dental checkups. Toronto Public Health presented a report to the city board of health Monday, detailing services it been providing to hundreds of government-sponsored Syrians living in six temporary shelters. Dental care is one of many health issues that will require ongoing monitoring for refugees, said Paul Caulford, lead physician at the Canadian Centre for Refugee and Immigrant Healthcare in Scarborough. Kids were in pain. I didn't see one Syrian refugee who didn't need a dentist urgently, he said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
