Abstract
This commentary explores the vulnerabilities faced by temporary foreign workers (TFWs) in Manitoba, Canada within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. TFWs often endure substandard working conditions and lack access to essential healthcare services due to their status as non-citizens. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated their precarious situation, with TFWs experiencing disproportionately high rates of infection. Conducted in partnership between Migrante Manitoba and the University of Manitoba's Institute for Global Public Health, our research aimed to examine the healthcare barriers around vaccine uptake among TFWs in Manitoba by locating it within the wider structural context of inequality. We highlight the need for a comprehensive understanding of the unique healthcare needs and barriers faced by TFWs.
这篇评论探讨了在 COVID-19 大流行的背景下，加拿大马尼托巴省的临时外籍工人（TFWs）所面临的脆弱性。由于他们的非公民身份，临时外籍工人往往忍受着低于标准的工作条件，并且无法获得基本的医疗保健服务。COVID-19 大流行进一步加剧了他们岌岌可危的处境，外籍家庭佣工的感染率高得不成比例。我们的研究由马尼托巴移民组织（Migrante Manitoba）和马尼托巴大学全球公共卫生研究所（University of Manitoba's Institute for Global Public Health）合作开展，旨在通过将马尼托巴省外来务工人员的疫苗接种问题置于更广泛的不平等结构背景下，对其所面临的医疗保健障碍进行研究。我们强调需要全面了解外籍家庭佣工所面临的独特医疗保健需求和障碍。
