The attitudes toward refugee claimants’ access to healthcare among Canadian health care personnel are influenced by multilevel factors, including institutional and societal culture. A research paper analyzed these attitudes, concluding that institutional interventions promoting a collective mission to care for vulnerable populations may improve access to health care for precarious status migrants.

“In order to preserve an equitable access to health care for these vulnerable migrants, provincial governments and health care institutions need to send a strong message to their personnel, emphasizing the fact that refugee claimants are entitled to care and that it is an important part of our mission to make sure they can access the care they need.”
