The World Health Organization (WHO)'s Regional Office for Europe published its Action plan for refugee and migrant health in the WHO European Region 2023 – 2030.

Refugees and migrants often experience conditions that contribute to poor health, including restrictive migration policies, economic hardship, and discrimination. The action plan therefore promotes access to healthcare for all, including refugees and migrants. It also outlines the strategic actions needed to realise the potential of migration to contribute to resourceful and resilient populations and an economy of well-being for all.

The plan is built around 5 pillars of action:

1. Ensure refugees and migrants benefit from universal health coverage.
2. Implement inclusive emergency and disaster risk reduction policies and actions.
3. Develop inclusive environments that promote public health, social inclusion and well-being.
4. Strengthen migration health governance and evidenceand data-driven policy-making.
5. Explore innovative ways of working and develop enabling partnerships
