Frequently Asked Questions

Which communities does the Centre de Santé Tulattavik de l'Ungava serve?
The UTHC is responsible for health and social services in seven communities along Ungava Bay: Kuujjuaq, Aupaluk, Tasiujaq, Kangirsuk, Kangiqsualujjuaq, Kangiqsujuaq, and Quaqtaq. The main hospital is in Kuujjuaq, with six CLSC points of service distributed around the bay.
Are Inuktitut interpreter services available at the Kuujjuaq hospital?
Yes. Recognizing that many Inuit patients — particularly young children and elders — may speak Inuktitut as their primary or only language, the UTHC provides interpreter services to ensure effective communication between patients and healthcare staff.
What happens if my condition requires care beyond what the Kuujjuaq hospital can provide?
Patients requiring urgent specialized or ultra-specialized treatment are transported by medical evacuation flight to appropriate facilities in southern Quebec. UTHC staff coordinate these evacuations to protect patient safety when cases exceed the centre's on-site capacity.
Does the Centre de Santé Tulattavik de l'Ungava have a pharmacy?
Yes. The pharmacy at the Kuujjuaq hospital functions as both a hospital pharmacy and a community pharmacy, serving both inpatients and community residents who need prescription or other pharmaceutical services.
How do I get to the hospital in Kuujjuaq if I live in another Nunavik community?
There are no roads connecting Kuujjuaq to other Nunavik communities or to southern Quebec. All inter-community travel is by air. Patients traveling from communities served by the UTHC's CLSC network will need to arrange a flight to Kuujjuaq.
Is the Centre de Santé Tulattavik de l'Ungava affiliated with any university?
Yes. The UTHC is affiliated with McGill University's Faculty of Medicine and regularly hosts medical students and residents for clinical training, supporting the development of healthcare professionals with experience in northern and Indigenous health contexts.
