Abstract
Although many refugees arriving in Australia are in good health, they may be at risk of medical conditions that have been contracted overseas, as well as conditions relating to malnutrition or trauma prior to arrival. Thorough and prompt health screening after arrival is important for all refugees. © Runinc/Getty Images.
