A team from Newfoundland and Labrador is heading to Ireland to convince health-care professionals in that country to accept a job on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean — but their mission comes as that country faces its own health-care crisis.
Newfoundland and Labrador Health Minister Tom Osborne will lead a team of 11 recruiters on a six-day trip to four Irish cities.
“Because of the similarities in training and culture, we look to Ireland,” he told CBC News.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced free state-paid health care for thousands of undocumented immigrant children, as Democratic leaders elsewhere in the US say they’re overwhelmed with busloads of border crossers sent north.
Murphy broadened the state’s publicly funded health insurance in 2021 to include 47,000 more children. Through the expansion announced on Wednesday, New Jersey expects to add 16,000 non-citizens under the age of 19 for free routine medical care, emergency-room visits and other services.
Murphy, a 65-year-old Democrat and retired Goldman Sachs Group Inc. senior director, said children’s health was paramount to any other concerns.

Premier Danielle Smith announced Tuesday that she will be moving ahead with health-care reform with or without the financial backing of the federal government, as the two political bodies are at odds about funding conditions.

Plans are underway to make sure health-care workers recruited from Kenya will have what they need to start their new lives in Nova Scotia following a provincial recruitment trip to refugee camps, as well as the capital Nairobi.
Housing should be available before people arrive, according to the federal program that jump-started the hiring initiative. That’s why long-term care provider MacLeod Group has bought three homes for its workers in Mahone Bay and is in the market for more.
“We are doing this to try to retain employees as well,” said Doug Stephens, MacLeod Group’s general manager of human resources.
House Republicans kicked off the 118th session of Congress by fulfilling a campaign pledge to defund the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), apparently in order to undermine the agency’s ability to audit the complex tax filings of millionaires and billionaires. The move that may well empower tax cheats is an opening gambit to what will likely be a years-long Republican effort to claw back the $80 billion appropriated in last year’s Inflation Reduction Act to modernize the IRS and empower it to efficiently collect tax revenue.

This partnership comes at a time when hospitals across the province are facing staffing and capacity pressures
A new partnership between the North Bay Regional Health Center (NBRHC) and the AIDS Committee (ACNBA) is trying to expand healthcare options for patients in vulnerable communities says a news release.
“For many, the emergency department is not always the most appropriate place to seek medical care. In fact, many health issues can be better addressed in another care setting—if patients know how and where to access it,” explains the release.
