Ensuring health access for migrants throughout their journey.
Every year on 18 December, the world marks International Migrants Day, a day set aside to recognise the important contribution of migrants while highlighting the challenges they face.
Migration has always been a vital and enriching part of societies, contributing to the strength and resilience of populations and fostering a well-being-centred economy for all. To realise this potential, however, migrants’ right to health must be safeguarded.
This year's International Migrants Day highlights the need to ensure safety and opportunity for migrants by supporting their access to health services at every stage of their journey.
Migrants are not defined solely by their migration status – they are also doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who contribute significantly to society. Migrants have the right to health at every stage of their journey.
