Refugee claimants can face many obstacles when trying to get
the healthcare they need in Ontario. This interactive workshop will help
frontline workers feel confident supporting clients as they navigate Ottawa’s
healthcare system under the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP). Together,
we’ll explore what services are covered, how to explain benefits clearly, and
practical tips for connecting clients to care. We’ll cover everything from
preventive health and privacy rights to finding a family doctor—and what to do
when one isn’t available—so you can help clients get the right care at the
right time.
