OUT NOW - Refugee and migrant health system review: challenges and opportunities for long-term health system strengthening in Jordan. 📣 This report represents a significant step in addressing the #health needs of #refugees and #migrants through informed and evidence-based interventions. Jordan, with over 3 million migrants comprising one-third of its population, is dedicated to providing subsidized access to essential health services, as outlined in the Ministry of Health Strategy 2023–2025 and aligned with its Universal Health Coverage objectives. Read the report for key highlights and recommendations for consideration: https://lnkd.in/eWwQ2n7M #HealthForAll

There will be no sustainable development without migrants and refugees, especially without monitoring the targets of SDG 3.8 (Achieving Universal Health Coverage) and SDG 10.7 (Facilitating orderly, healthy and responsible migration of people). This is why this ending week, I attended the Fifth WHO Global School on Refugee and Migrant Health with the following agenda : Day 1 - Primary Healthcare (PHC) Inclusive of Refugees and Migrants. Day 2 - Managing Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) across the Migration Cycle. Day 3 - Including Migrants in Comprehensive Health Financing Strategies. Day 4 - Closing the Gap Between Research and Policy Making to Better Address Migrant Health Needs. Day 5 - Universal Health Coverage Throughout and Beyond Refugee and Migrant Health Emergency Crises.

Honored to have attended the 5th WHO Global School on Refugee and Migrant Health hosted in Colombia! Key takeaways: 1. Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is crucial for ensuring healthcare access for all, including refugees and migrants. 2. Emergency services must have provision for continuity of care, supporting the transition to UHC. 3. Evidence-based policies and research-driven actions are vital for improving healthcare access. 4. Regional financing mechanisms can support UHC goals. Let's work together towards achieving Universal Health Coverage for all! #HealthMigration

Addressing the social determinants of health among refugees and migrants is crucial for improving their overall well-being and integration into host communities.

I have completed the Global School on Refugee and Migrant Health through the World Health Organization in order to gain practical knowledge and insight into the healthcare and health outcomes of Refugee and Migrant populations on a global scale.

Pleased to share our latest #preprint entitled: "Empowering Refugee Voices: Using Nominal Group Technique with a Diverse Refugee Patient Advisory Committee (PAC) to Identify Health and Research Priorities." ⬇ "This proof of concept study illustrates how refugees can use a rigorous consensus process without external influence to prioritize their healthcare needs, direct a health research agenda to address those needs, and co produce research." #refugees #health
