Dr. Tim Holland says the additional funding for the Newcomer Health Clinic is crucial because Nova Scotia is seeing a regular increase in refugees and immigrants. The funding was included in the 2022-23 provincial budget and will bring the total annual budget for the clinic to more than $1 million. Holland told reporters that through the increased financial support the clinic will be able to hire a social worker, a family practice nurse and a coordinator to help families navigate the province’s health system. The clinic provides preventive and primary care to government-assisted refugees, privately sponsored refugees and refugee claimants, and it has 2,715 patients. The facility works to transfer patients to a family practice in the community within two years. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 9, 2022.
