Description

While migrants are often comparatively healthy, a phenomenon known as the "healthy migrant effect", they often face particular health challenges and are vulnerable to a number of threats to their physical and mental health. However, all too often the specific health needs of migrants are poorly understood and health systems are not prepared to adequately respond. The situation is compounded by problems in realizing their human rights, accessing health and other basic services and relegation to low paid and often dangerous jobs, with the most astute challenges for undocumented migrants, trafficked persons and asylum-seekers. This book explores key features of health and migration in the European Union (EU). Health systems have to be responsive to their respective populations and as populations in Europe are becoming increasingly diverse, health systems need to find ways of responding adequately to this diversity.
