Refugees and Healthcare A comparison of how Turkey and Canada approach healthcare provisions for refugees, as opposed to the United States.

Do now: What are refugees and what is healthcare? According to USA for UNHCR: “A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence. ”

Why do you think it may be necessary for refugees to have access to Healthcare?

Which countries that currently welcome refugees Which countries that currently welcome refugees? Which do not currently welcome refugees? http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/09/world/welcome-syrian-refugees- countries/index.html http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/29/politics/trump-travel-ban- countries/index.html

What is the difference between Isolation and Quarantine According to the CDC: Isolation separates sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick. Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick.

Turkeys Isolation Program

Turkey’s isolation approach to refugee health, why is it good? Will help refugees feel welcomed and appreciated Will help immediately with trauma This is able to fix any language barriers between doctor and refugee who speak the same language How has it been going for Turkey so far? Turkey hosts 4 million refugees over the past five years Turkey provides healthcare, education, and other services to refugees Turkey has had no serious outbreaks and provided vaccinations to Syrian children

Isolation Cons Risk of disease / outbreaks Will cost government a lot of money Will show more care for refugees than many citizens who may need the same attention more or equally

Why do you think a country would want to quarantine ? Especially Canada. Everyone in the country, state, and/or township will feel more safe Keeps communicable diseases away from the community Prevents outbreaks of harmful diseases such as tuberculosis Prevents need for additional vacancies to take precaution from in the host population Keeps diseases that may be foreign to them away from their communities

Quarantine con’s Medical volunteers may be infected with a disease making it harder for them to return to their community / gain more volunteers A human being is locked up against their will Individuals are separated from their families for a temporary or long amount of time

What is the U.S doing for refugee health? The U.S currently had quarantine stations known as “Q-Stations” run by the CDC. Located at airports and land-border crossings where 85% of international travelers arrive Q-Stations in NJ- Newark International Airport with about 5.8 million international passengers

Would you recommend isolation or quarantine for refugee healthcare in the U.S. and why? Consider the following: The pros and cons to quarantine The pros and cons to isolation What the U.S. is currently doing How communities are affected How the refugees are affected
