title: Illness episodes and service delivery in the hudson bay and james bay region.
abstract: In examining patterns of illness episode and service delivery in two native populations, a high frequency of respiratory tract infections and a poor obstetrical history with loss of children were found, particularly among the Inuit patients. The work of nurse practitioners, supported by specialist physicians, appeared to be effective in managing patients in isolated communities.
