MIGRANT & REFUGEE HEALTH

The M8 Alliance of Academic Health Centres, Universities and National Academies has put Migrant and Refugee Health on the agenda of the World Health Summit since 2015.
In 2017, the M8 Alliance held their first Expert Meeting on this issue in Rome, attended by participants from around the world. Since then annual follow-up meetings were established.
In 2021, the M8 Alliance Webinar Series on Migrant and Refugee Health was established.
