Health

Health care in Ethiopia is less technologically advanced than health care in Canada. In Ethiopia, you get health care services based on your financial capability. The health care service is paid from out of pocket in Ethiopia. In Canada, Health care services are well organized and technologically supported. Basic health care services are free in Canada. To get health care in Canada, you are not expected to have money to access health care. Most cases in Ethiopia are treated at home with traditional health care providers due to lack of access to the health facility and money to be paid for the care at a health facility. Stress is more common in Canada but well managed with different types of techniques such as physiotherapy, health education, counselling, and medications.

I took my son for his dental care appointment last Friday. The dentist told me that my son’s teeth need to be cleaned. She said that she would give him antipain to avoid pain during cleaning. Before the dentist starts to give medication, I also asked about the side effects of the medication. She said its side effects are very short in duration and it does not have long-term health effects on him.
