Medical care of Eskimo children.

Description: 

The disparity in health standards between the Arctic and southern Canada has prompted a committee of the Canadian Pediatric Society to study the Eskimo health problems, and to make suggestions as to how pediatricians can cooperate with and support the programs presently being carried out by the Northern Health Services of the Department of Health and Welfare. As a result, in July of 1965, the Montreal Children’s Hospital started to send a senior pediatric resident each month to serve in the new 28-bed hospital at Frobisher Bay, Baffin Island.
