Call for Papers – Promoting the health of migrant and displaced populations in the Eastern Mediterranean Region
The Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal (EMHJ) is leading a thematic issue on migrants, refugees and displaced populations (asylum seekers, internally displaced populations and returnees).
Currently, the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) is among the most impacted in terms of displacement and migration with consequent health implications. The available public health literature is not adequate in order to influence policies and programmes that address the health of migrants and displaced populations in the EMR.
Possible sub-themes include, but are not limited to:
Health system response and arrangements to address the health needs of migrants, refugees and displaced populations
Universal Health Coverage: approaches for expanding service coverage and enhancing financial protection for migrants and displaced populations
Health financing arrangements to cover the health needs of migrants and displaced populations
Migration of health workers and its impact on sending and receiving countries
Impact of displacement on health services in transit and host countries
Women’s health, human trafficking and gender-based violence in migration and displacement
Use of innovation and technology to promote continuity of care
Health diplomacy and the interface between health, economy and political developments
