Healthy Migrants, Healthy Communities

What is the relationship between migration and health, and how does this impact sustainable development? Migrant workers’ ability to access health services can contribute to their own well-being and productivity, and have positive ripple effects in the wider community where they work and back at home. Listen to Fernando’s story to understand what mainstreaming migration into health programmes means in practice. The video is a part of a #MigrationConnection series that has been produced by IOM through the “Mainstreaming Migration into International Cooperation and Development” (MMICD) initiative funded by the EU.
