New Handbook of Refugee Health published

This new handbook helps to recognize the rights of refugees and provides a framework to identify and approach health needs, from basic elements like service mapping and initial interventions to more complex elements of ongoing healthcare and support and broader topics such as migration public health, migration policy and health systems.

Key Features:

  • Bridges the gap between existing academic literature on refugee health and guidelines for health management in humanitarian emergencies.

  • Helps to develop an integrated approach to healthcare provision, allowing healthcare professionals and humanitarians to adapt their specialist knowledge for use in forced migration contexts and with refugees.

  • Recognizes the complex and interconnected needs in displacement scenarios and identifies holistic and systems-based approaches.

  • Covers public health theory, applied public health and clinical aspects of forced migration.
