Epidemiology & Public Health

Migration, Displacement, and Global Health

This session highlights the public health implications of human mobility whether due to conflict, climate change, or economic migration. Topics include the epidemiology of refugee health, infectious disease outbreaks in camps, and barriers to healthcare access for displaced populations. Participants will learn about culturally competent care, mental health services for trauma survivors, and ethical challenges in collecting data among mobile populations. Real-world responses to recent migration crises will be examined to inform more inclusive health policy approaches.
