Rechel, Bernd, Mladovsky, Philipa, Ingleby, David, Mackenbach, Johan P and McKee, Martin (2013) Migration and health in an increasingly diverse Europe. Lancet, 381 (9873). pp. 1235-1245. ISSN 0140-6736
Abstract
The share of migrants in European populations is substantial and growing, despite a slowdown in immigration after the global economic crisis. This paper describes key aspects of migration and health in Europe, including the scale of international migration, available data for migrant health, barriers to accessing health services, ways of improving health service provision to migrants, and migrant health policies that have been adopted across Europe. Improvement of migrant health and provision of access for migrants to appropriate health services is not without challenges, but knowledge about what steps need to be taken to achieve these aims is increasing.
