Dr. Jhanzaib Sherwani estimates that half the residents in Parc-Extension aren't registered with a family doctor. He says this creates added stress on hospitals and emergency rooms, and leave patients scrambling for care.
MONTREAL The death of the woman in Park Extension has again raised calls for action calls that are all the more important for women in the cultural communities. Many of them face linguistic and cultural barriers that make it even more difficult for them to seek help before it’s too late.
The latest killing of a woman allegedly at the hands of her partner has shocked so many, especially those in Montreal s South Asian community. Police are still looking for the victim’s husband, Navdeep Ghotra, 30, who is the main suspect. The coordinator at the South Asia Women s Community Centre says more work needs to be done to help women who are newcomers to Canada.
