HANDBOOK OF REFUGEE HEALTH FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND HUMANITARIANS PROVIDING CARE TO FORCED MIGRANTS (PB 2022) Paperback

This book highlights the rights of refugees and offers a framework to address their health needs, ranging from basic services like mapping and initial interventions to more complex aspects of ongoing healthcare and support. It also covers broader topics such as migration public health, migration policy, and health systems. Moving beyond biomedical models, the book incorporates socio-ecological frameworks to guide assessments and integrated care approaches aimed at improving health and equity. Divided into three sections—public health theory (Part 1), applied public health (Part 2), and clinical approaches (Part 3)—it draws on a range of disciplines and insights from humanitarians, academics, policy experts, and clinicians with expertise in forced migration. This accessible reference is designed to assist healthcare professionals in working with forcibly displaced populations, in both high and low-resource settings. In addition to addressing health issues across various clinical specialties and global contexts, it explores related fields such as human rights, law, public health, medical anthropology, and cultural awareness.
