The Global Competency Standards sets the benchmark for the health workforce in providing equality of care to refugees and migrants. Refugee and migrant populations are highly diverse, with significant variation in life experiences, health needs and access to health care. The standards described outline expected behaviours of health workers in delivering quality care to refugees and migrants and can be used to inform the outcomes of education programmes aligned with standards for care. The standards described are designed to provide a foundation to support the development of competency-based curricula tailored to the local context and for health workers to achieve a minimum level of competence. The importance of person-centred, culturally responsive care is emphasized in the nine competency standards, which recognize the need for health workers to be trained, supported and empowered within strong health systems. These standards were developed in consultation with recognized experts in refugee and migrant health, including representatives from leading universities, international organizations and global networks. The primary focus of the framework is for application in informing education programmes to prepare all health workers in particularly those in priority countries, for providing refugee- and migrant- sensitive health services.

Refugees and migrants have been disproportionately affected by both the direct effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictive migration measures put in place, which, in turn, have hampered coordinated and consistent public health responses. This report maps how the needs of refugee and migrant have been addressed in COVID-19 responses across countries and how these have varied considerably from inclusive policies to discriminatory practices. Many countries ensured access to health care for refugees and migrants regardless of migration status, and several countries also suspended forced returns and prioritized alternatives to immigration detention. An integrated approach to migration and public health policies covering protection-sensitive access to territories, a flexible approach to migration status and non-discriminatory access to health care is suggested as a policy consideration to uphold international conventions protecting the right to health without discrimination for refugees and migrants.

This review explores how the health needs of refugees and migrants may differ from those of host populations, requiring culturally sensitive and effective care that recognizes the impacts of migration and forced displacement on physical and mental health. The review draws on grey literature and peer-reviewed research to identify key findings on refugee and migrant health across different contexts and clinical settings as well as the barriers and challenges that may prevent refugees and migrants from accessing health care. The focus on common health needs of refugee and migrant populations across the life-course is designed to complement the development of the Global Competency Standards for the effective provision of health services to refugees and migrants. Health workers providing care to refugees and migrants should be aware of how the migration experience – which can involve poor transit conditions, restrictive entry and integration policies, exclusion and acculturation stress – influences the health status of individuals and their health needs.

Forced migration has yet to be sufficiently addressed from the perspective of health policy and systems research, resulting in limited knowledge on system‐level interventions and policies to improve the health of forced migrants. The contributions within this edited volume seek to rectify this gap in the literature by compiling the existing knowledge on health systems and health policy responses to forced migration with a focus on asylum seekers, refugees, and internally displaced people. It also brings together the work of research communities from the fields of political science, epidemiology, health sciences, economics, psychology, and sociology to push the knowledge frontier of health research in the area of forced migration towards health policy and systems-level interventions, while also framing potential routes for further research in this area. Among the analyses within the chapters: The political economy of health and forced migration in Europe Innovative humanitarian health financing for refugees Understanding the resilience of health systems Health security in the context of forced migration Discrimination as a health systems response to forced migration Health Policy and Systems Responses to Forced Migration offers unique and interdisciplinary theoretical, empirical, and literature-based perspectives that apply a health policy and systems approach to health and healthcare challenges among forced migrants. It will find an engaged audience among policy makers and analysts, international organizations, scholars in academia, think tanks, and students in undergraduate programs or at the graduate level, for policy, practice, and educational purposes.

Following the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Czechia encountered an unprecedented arrival of refugees from Ukraine, mainly women and children. This situation posed a new set of challenges. As of July 2023, 65% of these refugees have chosen to stay in Czechia, primarily in Prague and the Central Bohemian Region. Integrating refugees into the education and health systems, already strained by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, is crucial. Those with protection status face challenges such as income poverty, employment, language barriers and housing issues. Czechia has a legislative structure for migrants and asylum seekers. In response to the Temporary Protection Directive from the European Commission, Czechia activated three acts in what is known as the Lex Ukraine and established temporary protection status primarily for foreign nationals fleeing the Russian invasion. This move offered full public health insurance coverage at no initial cost. World Health Organization (WHO) and the Czech Ministry of Health (Ministerstvo zdravotnictví) conducted a joint review mission to provide a comprehensive overview of the health system's response, with the aim of understanding service delivery challenges and identifying opportunities to further support Czechia in strengthening health system capacity and ensuring continued access to health services for refugees and host communities.

This Knowledge Guide accompanies the Refugee and Migrant Health: Global Competency Standards for Health Workers (the Standards) and the Curriculum Guide to support the operationalization of the Standards. The Guide provides guidance on how health workers can apply the Standards to their own practice. For each of the nine competencies and their specific behaviours in the Standards, the Guide examines in detail how a health worker's knowledge, skills and attitudes can reach the stated benchmark for providing people-centred health services to refugees and migrants. The Guide also details the learning outcomes that reflect the behaviours that a health worker will demonstrate once they have achieved the Competency Standards. The Knowledge Guide is designed for educators and health workers to assist in designing or integrating learning content to enable attainment of the identified knowledge, skills and attitudes. The Guide can be tailored to the environments that health workers operate in, taking into consideration the requirements and constraints of local health systems as well as the characteristics of the refugee and migrant populations.

Migration is a development challenge. About 184 million people--2.3 percent of the world's population--live outside of their country of nationality. Almost half of them are in low- and middle-income countries. But what lies ahead? As the world struggles to cope with global economic imbalances, diverging demographic trends, and climate change, migration will become a necessity in the decades to come for countries at all levels of income. If managed well, migration can be a force for prosperity and can help achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. 'World Development Report 2023' proposes an innovative approach to maximize the development impacts of cross-border movements on both destination and origin countries and on migrants and refugees themselves. The framework it offers, drawn from labor economics and international law, rests on a 'Match and Motive Matrix' that focuses on two factors: how closely migrants' skills and attributes match the needs of destination countries and what motives underlie their movements. This approach enables policy makers to distinguish between different types of movements and to design migration policies for each. International cooperation will be critical to the effective management of migration.

The story of how we treat refugees is a story about our own moral failings, and the barriers that refugees face in accessing health care can be as difficult to overcome as any other adversity in their path to stability. Around the world, millions are forcibly displaced by conflict, climate change, and persecution. Some cross international borders, while others are displaced within their own countries. In We Wait for a Miracle, Muhammad H. Zaman shares poignant stories across continents to highlight the health care experiences of refugees and forced migrants. For many of these people, health risks unfortunately become part of the fabric of everyday life as they navigate new countries that treat them with varying degrees of care and indifference. Across widely varied local systems, countries of origin, health concerns, and other contexts, Zaman finds that barriers to health care share these key factors: trust, social network, efficiency of the health system, and the regulatory framework of the host environment. A combination of these factors explains difficulties in accessing health care across the geographic and geopolitical spectrum and challenges the existing global public health framework, which is based entirely on local context. In moving stories that span seven countries—Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Colombia, and Venezuela—Zaman shares the everyday struggles of refugees, the internally displaced, and the stateless in accessing the health care they need. This unique look at an urgent global challenge addresses the issue of access for populations that are currently in distress due to civil war, economic collapse, or a conflict driven by external state actors. Organic social networks and trust, rather than top-down policies, are often what save the lives of migrants, refugees, and the stateless. Focusing on that trust—and its deficit—in camps, urban slums, hospitals, and clinics, Zaman combines personal and journalistic accounts of refugees with broad systemic analysis on global health care access to compare problems and solutions in different regions and provide holistic policy and practice recommendations for refugees, internally displaced persons, and stateless populations.
