Welcome! To help you start your new life with peace of mind, we offer a medical assessment for children at our immigration clinic.
Don’t wait until your child is sick to seek care. The sooner your child is seen by a doctor, the better. Some conditions such as tuberculosis or strongyloidiasis can remain asymptomatic for long periods of time.
Consulting with a health care provider is the best way to ensure that your child is healthy, and allows us to start a treatment plan quickly.
Your visit is covered by your provincial health insurance plan, which means that you do not have to pay for a consultation.
Our devoted team of professionals are sensitive to your needs, and share a common goal to ensure your child’s growth and well-being. At ELNA Medical, your child gets the best care possible, so that you can get off to a good start in your new home.
What happens during a consultation?
First consultation
Your doctor will inquire about your child’s medical and vaccination history, and perform a complete physical examination. They may also request certain tests, depending on your country of origin or your child’s symptoms.
Your doctor will also give you plenty of advice to help you better adapt to your new surroundings.
If your child’s situation requires it, they may be referred to another one of our multidisciplinary team’s many specialists, or asked to come back for a follow-up appointment.
Follow-up appointments
During follow-up visits, the doctor will conduct further assessments and advise on childcare, nutrition, education, and other issues. They may also refer you to local community agencies for additional support.
