In case of Medical Emergency, how to reach hospital/clinic ( Qorax and All)

[toronto2011]

Dear all,

My wife is pregnant and we are planning to land in Calgary or Edmonton. In normal circumstances we go first to physician and then go to second place as recommended by the physician. However, I want to know if at anytime, someone has emergency ( God forbid) especially related to pregnancy, how to reach nearby hospital or clinic in Edmonton or Calgary? Please share your knowledge, it's very important issue.

Dear All,
I & my wife got the Canadian Immigrant Visa June 18, 2014. We want to move to Canada August 03, 2014.

My wife was pregnant, when we did the medical she was not in pregnant that’s why visa office issue us visa. She is now in 03 month running and delivery date will be end of November 2014.

My questing is that, after reached in Canada Ontario in August, we need 03 months after Appling Health Card to get the free check up & free delivery.

If we don’t get the Health Card before my wife delivery date, what I need to do that time, because I hear that, pregnancy delivery expenses is so high in Canada if any person don’t have any Health Card.

So give me some advice as follows:

If there any Canadian govt. help, support regarding pregnant women
Or
Any organization give support do the pregnancy operation free, and other check up free
Or
Any hospital to give as installment basis payment.

Please give me advice me on that and give me some web link or organization / hospital name with phone number.

Need urgent help.

Thanks & regards.

Yes - delivery costs are expensive. You should budget $10K if you have to pay for the delivery on your own. The costs can be higher if there are complications. There is no government help or organizations that can help. However most hospitals do allow you to pay these costs on an installment basis.

If you want to lower the costs of the delivery then you should consider having the baby at home with the help of a mid-wife. This will significantly lower the costs.
