Migration Health

IOM supports the Ministry of Health to foster the availability, accessibility, and uptake of responsive health services for mobile and migrant populations, and migration-affected communities. Improving the physical, social and mental wellbeing of migrants and host communities enables them to achieve social and economic development. Migrants and mobile populations still face many obstacles in accessing comprehensive preventive and curative health services in many contexts in Mozambique. IOM will support the Government of Mozambique to address the main gaps on four main health priorities: establish monitoring systems for migrants’ health to inform evidence-based policies, implement migrant-responsive community and health service delivery systems, deliver specialized health services for migrants, and strengthen health security along borders and mobility corridors.
