Abstract:
This report is based on attachment field work conducted over 1 month in Calgary, Canada as part of an exchange program with university of Calgary.
The main objectives were to understand SUD, how they affect VP and to compare the situation in Calgary with that of Mwanza, Tanzania.
During this 1 month period several health were visited. All were equipped out-patient facilities and covering specific patient populations; refugees (MRC), natives (SCHC) and the homeless (CUPS).
The entire program was supervised by the specialist and residents doctors as well as nurses and social workers depending on the planned activity.
I was able to meet patients from various backgrounds considered to be from VP and who had a history of SUD. I participated in the interview process to these patients as well as their examination and management.
There is a significant population affected by SUD in both Calgary and Mwanza, both being urban areas and containing various VP.
