Résumé :
|
Migration is attracting growing attention from public health professionals in the European Region. The increase in the number of migrants arriving in European countries during the past few years poses a series of questions that need public health answers. The provision of adequate migrant-sensitive health services, and the overall protection of the health of migrants and the resident population require the commitment and leadership of the health sector, as well as the establishment of a cross-sectoral dialogue on health and migration. The arrival of migrants in large numbers to the Sicily region of Italy since 2011 is evidence of the need for strategic approaches beyond an emergency response, including enhancement of health system capacity and establishment of response mechanisms involving health and non-health actors. The Ministry of Health of Italy, the Regional Health Authority of Sicily and the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe have conducted several assessment missions to identify and address the challenges posed by migration. The establishment of an intersectoral working group led to the preparation and adoption by the Regional Health Authority of Sicily of a regional health contingency plan on migration in September 2014.
