Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Where migration health policies exist, they operate primarily in isolation at national levels and cover only fragmented snapshots of people's movement, with few binding regional or global health protection agreements to respond to the true scope of contemporary migration [7],[8]. [...]the chasm between practice and policy--those providing health services to migrants versus those making policies about migrants' entitlements--is increasingly evident. Policies that respond to the diversity of migrant groups and their differential health risks and service access must be developed and implemented. [...]to make real advances in the protection of both individual and public health, interventions must target each stage of the migration process and reach across borders.
