Refugee Women's HealthIn 2006 the Boston Center for Refugee Health and Human Rights (BCRHHR) at Boston Medical Center was created. BCRHHR is a women's health clinic specializing in the care of female survivors of torture. The Refugee Women's Health Clinic specializes in the physical, psychiatric and legal care for women who are refugees or asylum seekers in the Boston area.

We have provided these specialized services for over 350 refugee women from over 18 countries. Minimally Invasive SurgeryIn the past, most surgery was done through large incisions.
