Abstract

Objective: The conflicts in the Middle East during the last decade displaced millions of people and led to a serious population movement. Many Syrians have had to leave their country and became a refugee in Turkey. Over the last decade, migration has become one of the most important social, political and public health issues in Turkey. In this study, we aimed to review pediatric refugee cases who were consulted to the Social Service at a Tertiary Hospital.
