HARK - Health Assessment for Refugee Kids
The Children's Hospital at Westmead
Abstract
The vision of the Children's Hospital at Westmead is 'Healthy Children for a Healthy Future' and as part of this vision we have established the HARK service which provides comprehensive health assessment, treatment and support for newly resettled refugee children in NSW.
The HARK service plays an important public health and preventative role by providing crucial early diagnosis and timely intervention in this very vulnerable group of children. A key aspect of the HARK service is to enable continuing care in the community.
This project was entered in the 2007 NSW Health Awards, Primary Health and Continuing Care in the Community category.
