DU Migrant Health

Migration around the world generates both individual and public health issues. The mechanisms that can be responsible for obstacles to health, in particular delay in access to rights and care, renunciation of care, including preventive care, are complex and poorly understood. They bring into play multiple institutional and individual or community factors for the people concerned.

The stakes are high because health and access to health are factors, even recognized conditions for integration and for socio-economic development, avoiding marginalization and exclusion. Understanding of these mechanisms by socio-health professionals at the various levels of the health system pyramid is essential to improve access to health for these vulnerable populations.
