Saan pupunta para sa health care
- Emergency care para sa Emergency Departments sa mga ospital, para sa mga kritikal o mapanganib sa buhay na sitwasyon. Kung ang iyong alalahanin sa kalusugan ay hindi emergency, gamitin ang primary care services.
- Urgent primary care centres (UPCCs) para sa same-day care para sa mga hindi inaasahang alalahanin sa kalusugan na hindi mapanganib sa buhay.
- Regular na medikal na pangangalaga, na tinatawag ding primary care, mula sa family doctors o kaya nurse practitioners. Kung mayroon kang alalahanin sa kalusugan na hindi emergency, at wala ka pang family doctor, ang walk-in clinics ay nagbibigay ng mga serbisyo sa health care kung hindi emergency; maaari kang mag-drop in.
- Ang community health centres (mga CHC) ay naglalaan ng iba't-ibang mga opsyon sa pangangalaga sa iisang lokasyon; ito'y mahahanap gamit ang aming Services & Resources pahina.
- HealthLink BC - Tumawag sa 8-1-1 (7-1-1 para sa mga bingi at may kahirapan sa pandinig) para sa isang libreng 24-oras na serbisyo sa telepono na tinatauhan ng registered nurses, pharmacists, at dieticians; masasagot nila ang iyong mga katanungan hinggil sa kalusugan, at may translation services sa mahigit sa 130 wika.
