Refugees and Global Health
Our Work
The scale and speed of the COVID-19 pandemic has underscored how deeply interconnected the health of the world’s population has become. As global leaders confront new and ongoing health crises—from COVID, to Ebola, to maternal health, to hunger and malnutrition—they must account for the needs of displaced people and leave no one behind.
Refugees International is charting a path forward on how policymakers, humanitarians, donor governments, and multilateral organizations must prepare for and respond to global health crises and account for the needs of displaced people.
