To mark International Migrants Day 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) Health and Migration Department has launched the Dashboard of Global Experiences on Refugee and Migrant Health. This cutting-edge resource highlights the strides made by Member States in advancing the priority areas of the WHO Global Action Plan (GAP) on the Health of Refugees and Migrants 2019–2030.
Discover the vision behind the Dashboard
Hear directly from Dr. Santino Severoni, Director of WHO Health and Migration, as he presents the Dashboard, emphasizing its significance in addressing health challenges faced by refugees and migrants while fostering global collaboration.
The Dashboard compiles 140 cases and experiences from 63 Member States, documented between 2022 and 2023. It offers a unique, comprehensive overview of global efforts, showcasing the successes and challenges in implementing health policies, systems, and action plans tailored for refugee and migrant populations.
As the international community comes together to commemorate International Migrants’ Day, 2024, this innovative tool aims to foster knowledge-sharing and collaboration among countries, international organizations and stakeholders.
“More than 1 billion people are on the move today, driven by conflict, climate disasters, and the search for a better life. With this movement comes significant health challenges,” says Dr Santino Severoni, Director of WHO’s Health and Migration Department. “Ensuring that refugees and migrants have access to timely, affordable and dignified healthcare is vital for achieving health for all.”
