With almost 4 million Syrian refugees and 60 million displaced people worldwide, the migrant crisis is “the biggest humanitarian emergency of our era,” according to António Guterres, the former United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. As many flee instability and violence to Europe in search of safety and better lives, they risk drowning on boats, suffocation in packed vans, and other dangers on their journey—and limited access to health care after they arrive.
Learn about the pursuit of health justice among refugees and displaced people in this Immigrant Health Initiative seminar by Steve McAndrew, head of emergency operations at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
This seminar is hosted by the Immigrant Health Initiative, in collaboration with the USC Center for Health Equity in the Americas and the USC Institute for Global Health.
