NON-INSURED HEALTH BENEFITS PROGRAM

Access to prescription drugs, dental care, vision care, medical supplies and equipment and emergency crisis counseling are recognized rights of First Nation peoples.

Mississauga First Nation does not have the jurisdiction to administer these services on behalf of community members. The First Nation & Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) of Canada has sole control of this program.

​Please inform one of our Regulated Health Professional if you have been denied any of these services provided under the Non-Insured Health Benefits Program. Tracking the information/problem is a vital part of politically addressing health concerns.
