The government has cut 15% of the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) budget and introduced unaffordable co-payments for essential health care like medication, mental health support, and assistive devices on May 1, 2026. Refugees are struggling to access the care they need. Health care providers are scrambling to find stop-gap workarounds.
Hear from frontline providers about the impact of the IFHP cuts and call on the government to reverse the cuts.
These cuts are part of Carney’s austerity agenda and signal that more cuts are coming. Our communities are healthier when everyone has access to care.
