Health concerns of migrants and refugees
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical and Advance Research - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
Migration is a process of social change during which a person moves from one cultural setting to another in order to settle for a longer period of time or permanently. If internal and international migrants are being taken in to account, it would be the third most populous country in the world, just after China and India. The collective health implications of this sizeable population are considerable and are not often in accordance with their need, thus raising concerns with regard to equity, social inclusion and cohesiveness. During different phases of migration, Linguistic, cultural and legal factors are amongst the major barriers in accessing basic health services for migrants. Hence a migrant sensitive inclusive health system equipped with trained work force should be formally established by inter country, inter regional and international framework to address this complex issue-Migration.
