Migration Health Assessments and Travel Health Assistance

2019 Overview of Pre-migration Health Activities

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) Global Migration Health Assessment Programme (HAP), under the Migration Health Division, conducts pre-migration health activities that are among the most established and longest-standing services provided by the Organization. These activities are undertaken in the context of regular international migration at the request of receiving country governments and vary in scope according to receiving country protocols and the epidemiological profile of the country of origin. This report illustrates the range of IOM pre-migration health activities undertaken globally in 2019, and demonstrates IOM’s commitment to the promotion of the health and well-being of migrants and host communities.
