Migration Health Programme
Migration Health is an integral part of IOM Zimbabwe programmes.
Human mobility is a significant public health issue both in terms of the epidemiological aspects of diseases and physical access to health services. The strategic objective of the Migration Health programme is to address the health vulnerabilities and challenges faced by migrants and communities affected by migration in Zimbabwe. Accordingly, the programme seeks to contribute towards the formulation and strengthening of policy and institutional frameworks on migration health.
Further, the programme seeks to facilitate, provide and promote access to migrant sensitive health services, information and referrals in order to improve health outcomes of migrants and migration affected communities.
