Gaps in child mortality between rich and poor are unacceptably wide and growing. Poorer children face disadvantages at every step from exposure and resistance to infectious disease, through care-seeking, and to effective treatment. How can policy-makers close these gaps? An international team of researchers explore the options of targeting and universal coverage.
Values, Policies and Rights
International Migration, Health and Human Rights
This new publication draws attention to important human rights issues that migration poses for health policy-makers internationally, such as the health implications of forced migration as well as detaining and screening migrants at the borders. The book will serve as a guide to emphasise important human rights principles by which governments, policy-makers and other actors can design and implement health policies and programmes in the context of migration. It sets out to demonstrate the need for further attention, research and elaboration of policy approaches in this area.
