The Ottawa Newcomer Clinic offers a wide range of services to government-assisted refugees. Our temporary primary care clinic provides short-term medical services while supporting clients to find an ongoing primary care provider or healthcare team.
Our clinical services include:
- Initial medical assessments and follow-ups
- Physical examinations and screening
- Vaccinations against infectious diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, polio and tetanus
- Diagnostic tests for tuberculosis
- Treatment for inactive tuberculosis
- Referrals to specialized medical services
- Psychiatric assessments and follow-up
- Healthcare education
- Support with connecting clients to an ongoing primary care provider
We believe in timely and coordinated care to detect health concerns as early as possible, when the chances of treatment and cure are much better. Our health care providers at the clinic have numerous years of experience in providing services to refugees and immigrants.
Please note that we do not offer walk-in services. All medical and psychotherapy or counselling appointments must be scheduled in advance. Interpretation support is available for all appointments at our clinic.
