Nutritional Screening — Calgary Clinical Resource

This clinical resource section from the Migration Humanitarian Health Collective (MH2C) provides guidance on nutritional screening and management for refugee patients. It covers vitamin D deficiency (universal supplementation offered to all refugees without routine screening), iron deficiency anaemia (as part of CBC interpretation), B12 deficiency screening in pregnant, vegetarian, or malnourished patients, iodine deficiency considerations for children from endemic countries, and G6PD-related dietary restrictions.  The resource also notes the recommendation for multivitamins without iron for patients with sickle cell disease. This resource supports clinicians in identifying and managing common nutritional deficiencies that are prevalent in newly resettled refugee populations.
