Yasmin Beydoun, a speech-language pathologist in Toronto, shares, “I have had patients with significant swallowing impairments leave the hospital without community follow-up because they had no status and therefore no health coverage. This is a huge health risk, if they can’t safely eat and drink, they are at a higher risk for choking, lung infections, and even malnutrition. These patients do not get the same access to care as citizens.
The letter explains, “while all levels of government have responsibilities for the health, safety, and security of migrants, the federal government’s role in determining immigration status is critical, including through accords it has with individual provinces.” In addition to calling for immigration changes, letter signatories are also calling on provinces to provide healthcare for all regardless of immigration status.
