Presentation :

Improving the health of migrants can only be achieved if inclusive national health policies are developed, enabling real access to care and taking into account the social determinants of health.

On a day-to-day basis, healthcare professionals and NGOs in the field are developing initiatives to meet the needs they encounter. Health services must take steps to overcome linguistic, social and cultural barriers to care. Partnerships between public institutions and civil society players are essential. Involving migrants themselves in the management of their own health is a key element.

This session will showcase some innovative initiatives and encourage exchanges of experience between local players and leaders of international organizations.
