Collection and integration of data on refugee and migrant health in the WHO European Region - Technical guidance
Format
In collaboration with Uppsala University, WHO/Europe has published new technical guidance that outlines why and how Member States should collect refugee and migrant-specific health data through their national health information systems (HIS).
As a result of increased mobility, societies have become more diverse -- as have their health needs. The principle of leaving no one behind in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the advancement towards universal health coverage, one of the European Programme of Work's core priorities, promote the inclusion of refugees and migrants in public health goals.
