Providing healthcare to newly arrived refugees requires sensitivity, thoroughness, and coordination across multiple services. This Virtual Refugee Health Screening Form helps healthcare providers, refugee resettlement agencies, and telehealth services conduct comprehensive initial health assessments remotely while maintaining dignity and cultural sensitivity.

Paperform makes it simple to create secure, accessible health screening forms that can be completed in multiple languages, on any device, and integrated with your existing healthcare systems. This template covers essential screening areas including country of origin, pre-migration health history, trauma and torture exposure, infectious disease testing coordination, mental health assessment, and connection to vital resettlement support services.
