One in every 8 people on our planet is a refugee or migrant, and the numbers are growing.
With conflicts, climate change, growing inequality, and global emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more people will be on the move.
Like anyone else, refugees and migrants have the right to the highest attainable standard of health.
But the health needs of refugees and migrants are often neglected or unaddressed in the countries they pass through, or settle in.
They face multiple barriers including out-of-pocket costs, discrimination and fear of detention and deportation.
Many countries do have health policies that include health services for refugees and migrants.
But too many are either ineffective or are yet to be implemented effectively.
