by Kanish Baskaran (Author), Nicholas Hamzea (Author), Annie Li (Author)

Absence amongst Abundance: Health Inequity and Homelessness in Canada provides a detailed look at barriers to accessible healthcare which impact the homeless population. In a country which prides itself in offering free health services to all, it is often assumed that this privilege is accessible to everyone, leading to a neglect of those in the most need. The chapters in this book delve into the different barriers to accessible healthcare, their root causes and initiatives and policies looking to address this issue.
