Abstract

Based on nursing reports and interviews, a public health program was set up in the Paris region in order to respond to the health needs of thousands of refugees with the goal of steering them, if necessary toward medical care. Elaborated gradually and interfacing with refugee social policies, this organization seems effective. Although subject to certain conditions, this experience provides lessons that could be generalized to other areas of public health and other populations. © 2018 Societe Francaise de Sante Publique.
