Meet a small team of doctors giving Syrian refugees care
Dr. Meb Rashid and his family were winding down from a New Year’s Day spent at their local skating rink when an urgent email snapped him back to business. It was his contact at the immigrant-services organization COSTI, asking whether he could come to a hotel near Toronto’s Pearson International Airport to give medical care to some of the 300 government-sponsored Syrian refugees temporarily housed there. Dr. Rashid, a 50-year-old GP, agreed, contacted two of his colleagues and prepared to get to work. At 10 a.m. the next day, they walked into the hotel.
