When should I visit the hospital?
In your home country, you may visit the hospital frequently whenever you are sick or injured. In Canada, visiting the hospital is for extreme emergency situations or referral appointments from your doctor. Find out more information about what to do in an emergency situation.
Your healthcare team away from home
There are a number of services and supports at Dalhousie to help you maintain your health while you're in Nova Scotia. As an international student you have the same access to services & supports, workshops & events, and online resources as Canadian students. You also have additional services available to you, detailed below.
