New Kuujjuaq centre will house perinatal and early childhood program
KUUJJUAQ—It’s a room with a view, but a new space in Kuujjuaq dedicated to health services promises much more than that.
The Ungava Tulattivik Health Centre is the first in the region to roll out an integrated perinatal and early childhood services program, often called by its French-language acronym, SIPPE, for “services intégrés en périnatalité et petite enface.”
The program brings together health care professionals and social programming from across the region to offer a one-stop support shop to children from birth until they enter school, and to expectant parents.
