Exploring Migration Patterns: Frankfurt Airport, Canada’s Health System, and Westwards Trends
Migrating for Health: Personal Stories from Frankfurt
At Frankfurt Airport, stories unfold revealing a traveler’s journey influenced by Canada’s health system.
Health Choices Matter
During an unexpected layover, I met a young woman, visibly distressed and eight months pregnant. She was on her way to India, reconsidering her migration to Canada due to health care costs. $750 for a check-up versus Rs 400 in Moga made her rethink her decision post-delivery.
- Her Journey: Reluctantly leaving her five-year-old son, she aimed to deliver her baby abroad.
- However, concern for her son's well-being and the cold Canadian healthcare system prompted her return.
As we shared our flight, she expressed her preference for the familiar comforts of home. Nav, as she introduced herself, exemplified a shift in perceptions about migration and health.
