Health Care for Uninsured Migrants during the COVID-19

The webinar is focused on the services we are providing on our Primary Care Clinic and other health care services throughout Toronto for non-status populations.  During the session, we will talk about how the clinics are working during COVID, and what is going to happen in the following months.

Toronto is a Sanctuary City, meaning no one can ask information regarding immigration status when accessing city services. Also, in an emergency, you cannot be refused service at the hospital, even without a health card. The conversation will include what to do during those emergencies.

Take advantage of this informative session and feel free to ask any questions related to the services we are providing.
