PROPOSED HEALTH COMPONENT
\nGLOBAL COMPACT FOR SAFE, ORDERLY AND REGULAR MIGRATION
\nINTRODUCTION
\nTo achieve the vision of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals \u2013 to leave no one behind \u2013 it is
\nimperative that the health rights and needs of migrants be adequately addressed in the Global
\nCompact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM). Despite health being a prerequisite for
\nsustainable development, health is missing from the six thematic sessions of the modalities for
\ndevelopment of the GCM, as well as from the 24 elements contained in Annex II of the New York
\nDeclaration for Refugees and Migrants. To address this, in its 140th session in January 2017, the
\nWHO Executive Board requested that its Secretariat develop a framework of priorities and guiding
\nprinciples, in close cooperation with IOM and UNHCR, to promote the health of refugees and
\nmigrants1
\n.
\nIn May 2017, the World Health Assembly endorsed resolution 70.15 on \u2018Promoting the health of
\nrefugees and migrants\u20192
\n. The resolution urges WHO\u2019s 194 Member States to strengthen international
\ncooperation on the health of refugees and migrants in line with paragraphs 11 and 68, and other
\nrelevant paragraphs, of the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants. The resolution also
\nurges Member States to consider providing the necessary health-related assistance through bilateral
\nand international cooperation to those countries hosting and receiving large populations of refugees
\nand migrants. In addition, the resolution encourages Member States to use the Framework of priorities
\nand guiding principles to promote the health of refugees and migrants3
\nat all levels and to ensure that
\nhealth is adequately addressed both in the Global Compact for Refugees (GCR) and the GCM.
\nThis present document is based on the Framework of Priorities and Guiding Principles to promote the
\nhealth of refugees and migrants. The development is led by WHO and IOM in close cooperation with
\nILO, OHCHR, UNFPA, UNAIDS, WB and other stakeholders including IFRC, PICUM and WMA.
\nHEALTH CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES ASSOCIATED WITH MIGRATION
\nThe majority of migrants worldwide are of working age and healthy4
\n. When supported by appropriate
\npolicies, migration can contribute to inclusive and sustainable economic growth and development in
\nboth home and host communities5
\n. In 2014, migrants from developing countries sent home an
\nestimated US$ 436 billion. These funds are often used to improve the livelihoods of families and
\ncommunities in the countries of origin, through investments in education, health, sanitation, housing
\nand infrastructure6
\n.
\nIn spite of the many benefits of migration, migrants themselves nevertheless remain among the most
\nvulnerable members of society. Despite the existing international conventions and resolutions7
\ndeveloped to protect the rights of migrants, many migrants lack access to health services, prevention
\nand promotion measures, and financial protection on the basis of their health and\/or migration status.
\nMost often, nationality or legal status is used as a basis for drawing distinctions between those people
\nwho may and may not enjoy access to health services. Other barriers to accessing health services
\ninclude migrants\u2019 fear of detection, detention and deportation, high costs, language and cultural
\ndifferences, discrimination, administrative hurdles, the inability to affiliate with local health financing
\nschemes, adverse living conditions that make seeking care difficult, and lack of information about
\nhealth entitlements as well as lack of firewall for health workers to report to immigration. Studies in
\nEurope based on economic modelling have shown that enabling undocumented migrants broader

\n4
\nIn 2015, 72 per cent of all international migrants were aged 20 to 64 years, compared to 58% of the total population \u2013 International migration report 2015.
\n5
\nThe health sector is a leading source of employment and skilled migrant workforce and the international migration of health workers is increasing. Over the
\npast decade, the number of migrant doctors and nurses working in OECD countries increased by 60%.
\n6
\nInternational Migration Report 2015
\n7
\nFor examples: The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966).; as declared in the preamble to the Constitution of the World
\nHealth Organization. Also, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, Article 2.2 and Article12, recognizes the right of everyone to
\nthe enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health without discrimination of any kind as to race, colour, sex, language, religion,
\npolitical or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status; resolutions WHA61.17 (2008) and WHA70.15 on promoting the health of
\nrefugees and migrants. Migrant Workers (Supplementary Provisions) Convention, 1975 (No. 143) provide that migrant workers should enjoy equal
\nOccupational Safety and Health rights as any other worker.
\naccess to health care, other than emergency level health care, may be cost-saving for health care
\nsystems. In a report based on economic modelling of several health conditions, the EU Fundamental
\nRights Agency found that enabling pregnant migrant women in an irregular legal situation to access
\nprenatal care could generate savings of up to 48% in Germany and Greece, and up to 69% in Sweden
\nover a two-year period8
\n.
\nMigrant workers and their families, including those family members left behind, often face hazardous
\nworking and living conditions and consequently worse work-related health outcomes. This is
\nespecially the case for female migrants in irregular situations and precarious employment in the
\ninformal economy9
\n. Many migrant workers and their families are not covered and cannot benefit from
\nequal labour and health rights; occupational safety and health services; and the social protection
\nsystem, including health insurance and employment injury compensation schemes. The few rights,
\nservices and benefits they do receive are rarely portable across countries.
\nMigration can also expose migrants to health risks such as sexual violence, mental health conditions,
\ncommunicable diseases, in particular for women, children, unaccompanied minors, people with
\ndisabilities and victims of torture and trafficking. Access to immunization and continuity of care is
\nmore difficult to ensure when people are on the move. Migrant populations are disproportionately
\naffected and particularly vulnerable, during and post-migration, to HIV infection, tuberculosis,
\nmalaria and hepatitis, since they lack of access to prevention services, early diagnosis and, especially
\nfor migrants with an irregular status, access to treatment. Many migrants with existing chronic
\nconditions experience interruptions in their care when they move without medicines or health records.
\nSome transit and destination countries perform migration health assessments, which may at times lead
\nto the detection of a health condition which the receiving country may deem to represent grounds for
\nrejection of a visa or for immediate deportation, without providing referral services for treatment.
\nAt the global and national levels, health policies and strategies to manage the health consequences of
\nmigration have not kept up with the speed and diversity of modern migration. Few country health
\ninformation systems disaggregate data in a way that permits analysis of the main health issues, either
\nfound among migrants or resulting directly from migration and displacement. Lack of records and
\ndisaggregated data hampers efforts to fully understand the extent of the health challenges and to
\ndevelop evidence-informed health policies and public health interventions.
\nOpportunities
\nRecent developments such as EB Decision 140(9), World Health Assembly resolution 70.15 on
\nPromoting the health of refugees and migrants, the Sustainable Development Goals, the UN Human
\nRights Council Resolution 35\/L.18\/Rev.1 that includes migrants, the Strategy and action plan for
\nrefugee and migrant health in the WHO European Region10
\n, and resolution CD55.R13 on the health of
\nmigrants adopted by Member States at the sessions of the WHO Regional Committee for the
\nAmericas\/Directing Council, in September 2016 11
\n, and the Colombo Statement 12
\nall provide
\nopportunities to enhance the health of migrants and their potential contribution to society. In particular,
\nthe \u2018guiding principles\u2019, as part the abovementioned Framework of priorities and guiding principles,
\nprovide the basis for the formulation of actionable commitments. These include:
\n\uf0b7 the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health

\nSri Lanka has an inter-ministerial and inter-agency coordination framework for migration health and development in place. This comprises of a National
\nSteering Committee on Migration Health (inter-ministerial), a National Migration Health Task Force (inter-agency and inter-ministerial) and a Migration Health
\nSecretariat which work in coordination. The latter is the dedicated hub that coordinates the national migration health agenda for the Government of Sri Lanka,
\nand is housed within the Ministry of Health and supported by IOM.
\n17
\nSee footnote 11
\n3. Address the social determinants of migrant health18
\nto ensure effective health responses
\nand health protection in countries of origin, transit, destination and return. This includes improving
\nbasic services such as water, sanitation, housing and education through the implementation of a
\nHealth in All Policy; and removing migration-related obstacles and discriminatory practices within
\nthe scope of evidence-based conducive policies and strategies at (the) multi-sector level, and through
\nthe implementation of relevant SDG targets.
\nMeans of implementation and follow-up: develop and implement coherent public policy responses
\ninvolving multisector collaboration across the health, labour, foreign affairs, welfare and finance, but
\nalso education, interior and development sectors; elaboration of sub-targets and relevant indicators
\nwithin relevant SDGs, such as 1.3; 1.5; 3.8, 5.2; 5.6; 8.7; 8.8, 11.1; 11.5; 16.2; 17.18.
\n4. Enhance global, regional, national and local health information and health monitoring
\nsystems on migrant health, including systematic data collection, and analysis of migrant health,
\ndevelop local capacity and key indicators to monitor migrant health and track progress, in accordance
\nwith data protection and confidentiality principles19
\n; support measures to improve communication and
\ncounter xenophobia by making efforts to dispel fears and misperceptions among refugee, migrant and
\nhost populations and share accurate information on the impact of migration on the health of local
\ncommunities and health systems and to acknowledge the contribution of migrants to society. Make
\naccurate, timely and user-friendly information on the health services available and their health rights
\navailable to migrants, in a language and format that they can understand.
\nMeans of implementation and follow-up: Develop a set of internationally agreed indicators to
\nmonitor migrant health and invest in the development of data systems that track human mobility and
\ndisease risk distribution and risk reduction; Strengthen health surveillance, prevention and response
\ncapacity along mobility pathways within the scope of IHR 20
\nand primary health care; develop
\ncommunication strategies for the public and for migrants. Act on SDG target indicators, including but
\nnot only target 17.18.
\n5. Provide universal health coverage (UHC), rights-based and inclusive health services,
\nensuring that the necessary health services are delivered to migrants in line with human rights
\nstandards and in a people-centred, gender-responsive, culturally and linguistically appropriate way,
\nwithout any kind of discrimination and stigmatization; providing access to quality health services to
\nmigrants, including migrants in detention, and by enforcing laws and regulations that prohibit
\ndiscrimination; identifying and\/or developing sustainable models of health care financing to cover
\nmigrant health. Promote and create platforms for the social integration and inclusion of migrants in

\nThailand has worked towards ensuring health systems include migrants through the provision of universal health coverage (UHC). Thailand allows
\nundocumented migrants to opt into its Compulsory Migrant Health Insurance (CMHI) scheme, which regular migrants obtain through their employers, often
\nhaving to pay part of the premium. However, the scheme does not have the same benefits as those available for Thai citizens. In countries where insurance
\nschemes are private for migrants, even when they are mandatory, workers may be dependent on employers for registration and maintenance. (references: Guinto,
\nR et al. (2015). Universal health coverage in \u2018One ASEAN\u2019: are migrants included? Glob Health Action 2015, 8: 25749. http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.3402\/gha.v8.25749;
\nborder health aspects to ensure continuum of care. Act on SDG target indicators, including but not
\nonly, targets 1.3, 3.8 and 3.c.
\n6. Reduce mortality and morbidity among migrants through short- and long-term public
\nhealth interventions, aimed at saving lives and promoting the physical and mental health of migrants.
\nRapid and effective emergency and humanitarian responses are essential for saving lives and relieving
\nsuffering. Longer-term planning for more systematic development-oriented approaches to ensure the
\ncontinuity and sustainability of the response should begin early. Recognizing that migrants may
\nexperience severe emotional distress and trauma, and may have particular mental health needs is vital.
\nMeans of implementation and follow-up: Provide emergency and humanitarian responses based on
\nhumanitarian principles; enhance capacity to ensure effective health responses and health protection
\nwith particular attention to communicable and noncommunicable diseases, mental health disorders,
\nsexual and reproductive health issues, gender-based violence, child health, and prevention efforts such
\nas health promotion and vaccination; Provide care for victims of torture, violence, those with mental
\ndisorders, physical trauma, injury and disabilities. Establish mechanisms for referrals and ensure that
\nhealth screenings are harmonized. Support health actors including the national Red Cross and Red
\nCrescent Societies and civil society organizations to provide services, ensure confidentiality of data of
\nthose accessing services and that there is no criminalization of those who provide health services. Act
\non SDG target indicators, including but not only target 1.5, 3.c, 3.d, 11.5, and 16.1.
\n7. Protect and improve the health and well-being of migrant women, children and
\nadolescents, the elderly, people with disabilities, victims of torture, and populations in
\nvulnerable situations through the provision of essential health services such as a minimum initial
\nreproductive health service package, sexual and reproductive health information; maternal health and
\nchild health care, including emergency obstetric services, pre- and postnatal care, prevention, care and
\nsupport for sexually transmitted infections such as HIV, and specialized care for the survivors of
\nsexual violence. Provision of mental health care services and other relevant care as needed.
\nMeans of implementation and follow-up: Monitor and implement the global plan of action on
\nstrengthening health systems response in addressing violence, particularly against women, girls and
\nchildren, endorsed by the World Health Assembly in 2016 which provides a clear framework to guide
\ncountries to strengthen services for survivors of gender-based violence including in humanitarian
\ncontexts. Provide minimum initial reproductive health service packages and support for people with
\ndisabilities. Act on SDG target indicators, including but not only targets 5.2 and 5.6.
\n8. Develop, reinforce and implement occupational, primary health and safety services as
\nwell as health insurance social protection for migrant workers and their families (WHA
\nresolutions WHA60.26 22
\nand WHA70.15); adopt and assess the administration, enactment and
\nenforcement of international and national occupational health and safety regulations and legal
\nframeworks. These include relevant ILO conventions and protocols, as well as bilateral agreements23
\nthat ensure decent working, employment and living conditions, including occupational and work-
\nrelated health and safety and social protection for migrant workers and their families24
\n.
\nMeans of implementation and follow-up: Integrate the health of migrant workers and their family
\nmembers in multisectoral international meetings and fora on migration, health, labour, social
\nprotection, development and other relevant topics. The aim should be to improve the coverage with,
\naccess to, and quality of occupational and primary health services and social protection offered to
\nmigrant workers and their families, working across sectors and in both receiving and sending
\ncountries; Strengthen systems that monitor and report on implementation of WHO resolutions and
\nILO conventions and protocols and the coverage with occupational and primary health and safety
\nrights, services and benefits for migrant workers and their families, using internationally agreed SDG
\nindicators such as 3.8, 8.7, 8.8 and 10.7.
