FLYING CLINICS
ESTABLISHED FOR RED MEN. About 115,000 Indians living in 800 communities in Canada are the concern of the Canadian health authorities, and everything that can be done is being done to promote their wellbeing.
The Saskatchewan Anti-Tuberculosis League has established clinics, and the Indian Affairs Branch of Canada’s Ministry of Health employs 500 doctors and dentists who serve Indians scattered in remote corners of the Dominion. Aeroplanes are used for carrying medicines and supplies to distant centres, and for taking sick or injured Indians to hospitals. Now we hear that not only are Indians taken to the clinics but the clinics are flown to the Indians, and an aeroplane carrying a complete diagnosing outfit, including an X-ray apparatus and electric generator to operate it, was lately sent to Indian residential schools in North Saskatchewan. Canada may well boast that she is caring for the red man as well as she can.
