Dominion Government Carries Medical Aid To Arctic And Sub-Arctic Areas
The Dominion government provides medical care to Eskimos and other northern inhabitants across thousands of miles of Arctic coast and inland regions. Eight doctors operate in the Far North using all transport modes, with Dr. J A Urquhart at Aklavik and others at Baffin Island, Fort Smith, Chesterfield, Cameron Bay, Resolution, Good Hope, and Simpson. The program, funded mainly by the Department of the Interior, combats diseases from contact with outsiders, improves infant feeding, and promotes traditional hunting to sustain nutrition while reducing dependence on white foods.
