Health – Guidelines for Treating Migrants
For some time now, a national team of medical experts and researchers has been working to create a detailed resource for doctors and nurse practitioners serving patients not born in Canada. Here is the result of these efforts to meet the challenges of Canada’s diverse population. Guidelines are presented in summary, along with case studies in the areas of infectious diseases, mental health, chronic diseases and women’s health.
The resource is entitled “Evidence-based clinical guidelines for immigrants and refugees” and is available from the Canadian Medical Association Journal website (www.cmaj.ca).
