Syrian refugees: Syrian refugees: Horrific torture haunts new Canadians The clinic solves several issues for visitors, say health officials, according to CBC. It groups patients who can't speak English and provides them with translators and staff who are equipped to deal with refugee needs, including mental health struggles and culture shock. It will serve more than 600 Syrian refugees who have already arrived in Windsor and Essex County. Afef Zghal, registered nurse from VON. "I think it a very important role to be playing, helping these individuals," said Afef Zghal, a registered nurse with VON. "A lot of them have come as new immigrants and find there a gap in care. The clinic includes a nurse practitioner, registered nurse, registered practical nurse and administrative support. Hopefully, we're able to bridge that gap for these people." Care will be offered in English, French and Arabic.
