Overview
The yearly Global School on Refugee and Migrant Health serves as one of the platforms of the PHM for building competency on public health aspects of migration through:
- The provision of knowledge exchange and information sharing
- The promotion of scientific and best practices on health and migration
- The promotion of evidence-informed best practices important to adapting health care systems to the health needs and rights of refugees and migrants worldwide
The focus of the 2021 Global School on Refugee and Migrant Health is on country experiences in addressing the health needs and rights of refugees and migrants, including challenges and achievements in ensuring inclusive and sustainable health services for these populations. It also features the stories of refugees and migrants, and of the front-line health workers who receive first-hand information regarding the main issues encountered in refugees and migrant health care delivery.
The primary aim of this e-learning course is to contribute to reducing excess mortality and morbidity among migrants, refugees and hosting populations.
