The greatest thing we do is improve care for those that survive the unimaginable.

Refugee Health YYC is a Research, Innovation, and Education platform at the University of Calgary's O'Brien Institute for Public Health.


We are closely partnered with the Mosaic Refugee Health Clinic in Calgary as an academic platform for our clinicians who provide care for newly arrived refugees and asylum claimants for up to two years.

Refugee Care App

The clinical information contained in this application is a consensus from the physician group working at the Calgary Refugee Health Program, and is based on years of experience treating most of the refugees and refugee claimants in Calgary. It is meant to be used as a clinical resource to guide Canadian family physicians through the initial screening and management of newly arrived refugees and refugee claimants.


While these recommendations apply mainly to refugee patients, they could also be useful for physicians seeing newly arrived immigrants.
