Health and Migration

Health and migration are interconnected, as movement of people across regions can influence their access to healthcare, exposure to new health risks, and spread of diseases. Migrants may face barriers such as language, legal status, or cultural differences that affect their ability to receive care. Additionally, migration can impact both the source and destination communities’ health systems and outcomes. Addressing health in migration involves ensuring equitable healthcare access, disease prevention, and support for migrants to maintain well-being while navigating new environments.
