Abstract

The article presents a study examining the obstacles and issues Iranian immigrants face in accessing health care in Toronto, Ontario. As mentioned, after interviewing the health care professionals and social workers, it was found that language barrier, lack of knowledge of Canadian health care services and lack of trust in Canadian health care services due to financial limitations have been the main reason for dissatisfaction of Iranian immigrants.
