Refugee Medical Screening and Immunization Program, New York City

The Bureau of Refugee Services (BRS) of the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA), issues this Request for Applications (RFA) to solicit applications from qualified applicants. The purpose of this RFA is to find medical clinics to provide initial medical screening and immunization services to newly arriving refugees and other eligible persons.

The New York City Refugee Medical Screening and Immunization Program has the following key objectives:

• Ensure follow-up with medical issues identified in an overseas medical examination;

• Identify persons with communicable diseases of potential public health importance;

• Enable a refugee to successfully resettle by identifying personal health conditions that, if left unidentified, could adversely affect his/her ability to effectively resettle; and

• Refer refugees to primary care providers for ongoing health care.
