An emergency tuberculosis clinic is taking over the community hall in Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut, on Feb. 5. Dr. Kim Barker, Nunavut's chief medical officer of health, says 17 of the territory's 25 communities have cases of tuberculosis. "It's now hit a point where if you just take one patient and screen all their contacts you might as well have screened the entire community," Barker said. Kim Barker, Nunavut's chief medical health officer, says it only make sense to screen entire communities for the disease.
