Migration & Health

Access to healthcare and maintaining their health and well-being are some of the most basic of the challenges faced by migrants, whether their migration is the result of conflict, insecurity, or climate change.

UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) is focused on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all. The significant impact of migration on health underscores the importance of understanding and addressing the distinct health requirements and challenges of migrants, as well as their origin, transit, and destination communities.
Here you will find research from across Springer Nature about various aspects relating to migrants and migration. Explore a diverse, hand-curated selection of articles, books, books chapters, and more that focus on the circumstances, needs, and rights of this vulnerable and marginalised population.
