Funded Activity Summary

Australia accepts refugees on humanitarian grounds, with a high proportion of these currently from Africa and the Middle East and many have serious infections such as TB or malaria. The outcomes of refugee children with serious infections, and the relationship of these outcomes to a range of cultural, socio-demographic and clinical factors have not been widely studied in refugees. This research will enable development of a model for optimal care of refugee children with serious illness.
