Meeting the Moment: Unique Health Needs of Mobile and Migrant Populations
Format: Live presentation and moderated panel discussion

Mobile populations—including migrants, refugees, internally displaced, and/or cross-border communities—face higher risks of morbidity and mortality. Myriad factors drive these: poverty, social exclusion and discrimination, restricted legal entitlements to health and social services, language limitations, low health literacy, and absence of permanent residence, among others—all exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. As countries accelerate momentum towards universal health coverage, these complex challenges need system-wide and multisectoral approaches to ensure health services that are responsive to the unique needs of mobile populations.

In this session, Abt Global will share experiences and learnings from governments and development partners leading health systems strengthening efforts to improve and expand healthcare access for mobile populations. These include better policies and regulations for information sharing and cross-border health information systems, tailored service provision (such as COVID-19 messaging and testing), and stronger social health protection platforms. The session will facilitate knowledge exchange among key global stakeholders to inform program design and implementation—and spotlight the importance of mobile and migrant health in global development goals.
