OTTAWA -- Newly published government data suggests the vast majority
of the 26,000 Syrian refugees who had arrived in Canada by the end of
last month came healthy.
Only 10 were sent to hospital upon landing for possible communicable
diseases, while 54 were sent for other urgent medical reasons.
None of the refugees tested positive for HIV or syphilis and there
were only two possible cases of non-infectious tuberculosis.
The data appears in the latest version of the Canadian Communicable
Disease Report,published by the Public Health Agency of Canada, and
is the first comprehensive look at the Syrian newcomers.
The agency reviewed the medical exams refugees underwent before being
accepted to Canada and the screening they received on arrival.
It noted that while there were no major public health concerns, it
will take time for chronic conditions and mental-health concerns to
present themselves and health care professionals need to remain
vigilant.
