The purpose of the action plan is to articulate a common vision for health and migration in the Region and outline the strategic actions needed to realize the potential of migration to contribute to resourceful and resilient populations, and an economy of well-being for all. In the spirit of leaving no one behind, the action plan aims to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, the WHO Thirteenth General Programme of Work 2019-2025, and the WHO European Programme of Work 2020-2025. It also aims to translate and operationalize global instruments on health and migration, including the Global Action Plan on Promoting the Health of Refugees and Migrants, in the regional context and in accordance with regional priorities. Guided by five salient lessons and principles, the action plan identifies five strategic priorities in coherence with this vision: (i) ensuring refugees and migrants benefit from universal health coverage; (ii) implementing inclusive emergency and disaster risk reduction policies; (iii) developing inclusive environments that promote human rights, social inclusion, health and well-being; (iv) strengthening migration health governance and evidence-and data-driven policymaking; and, (v) exploring innovative ways of working and developing enabling partnerships. This draft action plan is submitted to the 73rd session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe together with a draft resolution in October 2023. Background 1. On 17-18 March 2022, ministers and policymakers, refugees and migrants, and academic and civil society representatives from the European, African and Eastern Mediterranean Regions gathered in Istanbul, Türkiye, for a High-Level Meeting on Health and Migration (HLM). Participants unanimously endorse the Outcome Statement of the HLM, a remarkable demonstration of international and interregional cooperation and an expression of leadership for a new Regional Action Plan on Health and Migration. This follows the expiry of the previous Strategy and Action Plan for Refugee and Migrant Health in the WHO European Region (2016-2022). The request to progress the development of the new action plan was received at the Regional Committee in September 2022 (EUR/RC72/17(I) Provision agenda item 14). 2. The HLM provided an opportunity to reflect on the implementation and learnings of the previous Strategy and Action Plan, discuss current opportunities and challenges, and provide inputs to jointly shape the vision for the health of refugees and migrants moving forward. Balancing ambition and pragmatism, this draft action plan aims to capture the outcomes of the HLM, take forward outstanding priorities, and respond to the current context and evidence base. 3. The proposed action plan sits within a broader policy framework on health and migration, fully in line with the Global Action Plan on Promoting the Health of Refugees and Migrants, the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, and the Global Compact on Refugees. A regional action plan is necessary for translating and operationalizing these global instruments in the regional context, in accordance with regional priorities and evidence. It also aims to contribute to the achievement of various regional and global agendas, including the Sustainable Development Goals, WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work (2019-2023), and the European Programme of Work (2020-2025) by fulfilling the commitment to leave no one behind. Current situation analysis: challenges and opportunities 4. Displacement and migration continue to be a social, political, and public health reality for the Member States of the WHO European Region and beyond. Today, the Region is home to almost 36% of the global international migrant population; more than 13% of the total population of the Region are refugees and migrants. 5. Migration is a core element of the sociocultural, civic-political, and economic vitality of the Region. It is not an isolated or time-bound phenomenon, but an enduring and enriching part of our societies. Refugees and migrants contribute to their communities of origin and destination in countless and valuable ways. 6. The health of refugees and migrants is an indivisible part of population health. However, many refugees and migrants still face significant barriers to realizing their basic human right  to health, and continue to be subject to discrimination, and exclusion. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted both the valuable contributions and resilience of refugees and migrants, as well as the precarious and vulnerable situations which many still face. 7. The ongoing war and devastating humanitarian situation in Ukraine continues to increase the number of refugees the Region, highlighting the importance of equitable and unhindered access to health care for all people, regardless of origin, and ensuring safe access to territory for refugees and third-country nationals, in line with international standards and humanitarian principles. 8. The world is changing rapidly, with climate change, health and humanitarian emergencies, and demographic shifts presenting important consequences for health and migration now and into the future. It is essential to continue to uphold and bolster the commitment to the right to health for all and promote shared responsibility in this context, acknowledging the stretched capacity of many health and social systems in the Region. Lessons and guiding principles 9. The HLM underscored the importance of public health as a key dimension of national and regional policy responses to displacement and migration. That health is a fundamental human right, a unifying platform for dialogue, and a key driver for peace and stability was an overarching message. Health can serve as an effective vehicle for driving broader discussions on migration governance, grounded in the principles of solidarity and humanity. 10. Throughout the implementation of the previous Strategy and Action Plan, the Region has seen significant progress 1, such as improved accessibility and inclusivity of national health systems, and greater consideration paid to health and migration in national and subnational policies and practices. The majority of Member States now have in place contingency plans for sudden and large numbers of arriving refugees and migrants which have been tested by the displacement triggered by the war in Ukraine. The COVID-19 pandemic also saw demonstrable efforts made by many Member States to include refugees and migrants in response measures. However, further progress is needed; five salient lessons stand out to guide future action. 11. First, the processes of displacement and migration are cross-cutting, and health and well- being are greatly influenced by policies and conditions outside the realm of the health sector. It is thus necessary to work across sectors to foster shared responsibility, and amplify the voices of refugees and migrants as a priority. 12. Second, it is essential to recognize the integral and lasting nature of migration, and the many significant and multifaceted benefits of migration both for Member States and for refugees 1 Progress on the implementation of the Strategy and Action Plan at the country level has been captured and reported to the 68th, 70th, and 72nd sessions of the WHO Regional Committee. See EUR/RC68/8(F), EUR/RC70/8(K), and EUR/RC72/17(I).  and migrants. Inclusive approaches to health and migration must promote safe and dignified migration, and the minimization of health inequities across countries of origin, transit, and destination. 13. Third, health and migration is a global health issue and can only be addressed in a robust and sustainable way by building international and interregional solidarity and cooperation through a whole-of-route approach. 14. Fourth, enabling the full enjoyment of healthcare for all people does not stop at granting formal entitlements, but ensuring inclusivity. It requires that health and social services and policies be people-centred, responsive to the diversity of refugees and migrants, including with respect to gender equality and disability inclusion, and founded on the universality of human rights. 15. Finally, it is critical to look beyond factors related only to human health and recognize the interplay between human, animal, and environmental health, particularly in the context of the current climate emergency. Strategic framework 16. Acknowledging these lessons and considering current challenges and opportunities, five pillars of action are proposed. These pillars have emerged through evidence review, and consultation with Member States in collaboration with the WHO Global, African and Eastern Mediterranean Offices, the technical advisory group for health and migration of the WHO Regional Office for Europe, and key partners, including refugees and migrants. These pillars were discussed during the HLM and endorsed as per EUR/RC72/17/(I). 17. With respect to the pillars, illustrative actions for both Member States and the WHO Regional Office for Europe have been identified hereafter for consideration. Priorities for action at the national and subnational levels should be determined in accordance with national law, and in response to the context, competencies, and available resources of Member States. 18. The importance of facilitating meaningful engagement and participation of refugees and migrants in all aspects of policymaking and programming is emphasized for successful implementation and inclusive, sustainable outcomes. Action pillar 1. Ensure refugees and migrants benefit from universal health coverage Objective: Inclusive and non-discriminatory health service provision is central to a comprehensive public health response to displacement and migration. Action Pillar 1 aims to ensure refugees and migrants benefit from universal health coverage (UHC), grounded in the right of every individual to the highest attainable standard of health, and to strengthen public health systems to respond to the immediate and longer-term health needs of refugees and migrants. Actions for Member States: • Advance a legislative framework that minimizes harmful restrictions on health care entitlements and enables equitable access to essential and high quality promotive, preventative, curative and palliative health care for all refugees and migrants on a continuing basis, independent of migratory or refugee status, employment status, or level of health insurance, as for host populations alike. All health service provision needs to be disconnected from immigration enforcement and related administrative purposes. • Promote inclusion of refugees and migrants in the provision of primary health care, including for mental health and psychosocial support, sexual and reproductive health, maternal and child health, immunization, and the management of chronic diseases and disabilities, prioritizing the delivery through existing national health services. Support the co-design and co-delivery of health services with refugees, migrants, diaspora communities and representative organizations. • Ensure needs-based access to health care, including mental health and psychosocial support, for people in immigration detention and reception centres, and safeguard clinical independence of service providers in these settings. • Strengthen competencies of health and social service providers to deliver refugee-, migrant- and gender-responsive services and interventions, including to respond to the needs of survivors of human trafficking and gender-based violence, and invest in the training and engagement of interpreters and cultural mediators. • Monitor access to UHC for refugees and migrants, identify and promote enablers for health service utilization, and minimize legal, administrative, physical, psychological, financial, communication, attitudinal and other discriminatory barriers to the extent possible. Actions for WHO Regional Office: • Provide technical support for Member States for equitable inclusion of refugees and migrants within national UHC policies, including guidance and tools for the governance, management, and best practice delivery of health care services, and to strengthen monitoring of health system performance. • Support international and interregional collaboration between countries of origin, transit, destination, and return, to strengthen continuity of care for refugees and migrants along displacement and migration pathways into and within the Region. • Promote innovative financing mechanisms for health and migration to enable more predictable and sustainable programming at country and regional levels, and support international cooperation in this context. Action pillar 2. Implement inclusive emergency and disaster risk reduction policies and actions Objective: Refugees and migrants are often in more vulnerable or precarious situations during disasters and emergencies, as many are denied access to the resources, services and opportunities needed to ensure their safety and well-being. Action Pillar 2 aims to ensure that the health of refugees and migrants is fully accounted for in mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery processes, including in protracted situations. Actions for Member States: • Ensure inclusion of refugees and migrants within national emergency preparedness and response policies and plans, in line with humanitarian principles and relevant standards including the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. • Emphasize the obligations of states to uphold the fundamental right of all people to seek asylum and safe refuge at all times, and the right to health, in line with international law instruments and declarations. • Promote the knowledge, skills and capacities of refugees, migrants and diaspora communities and their engagement in the design and implementation of disaster risk reduction and resilience building activities. • Ensure refugee- and migrant-responsive, multilingual risk communication and health service provision during emergencies are provided on an equitable basis to refugees and migrants, irrespective of nationality or migratory status, and explore innovative options as required, such as through digital platforms for delivery of psychosocial support. Actions for WHO Regional Office: • Support multilateral and interagency dialogue for expanded legal pathways for regularization and facilitating safe migration and cross-border mobility, including during health and humanitarian emergencies, and to promote shared responsibility and international cooperation. • Support Member States in the design, review and implementation of migrant- and refugee- responsive disaster risk reduction policies, and to ensure alignment with relevant international standards. • Provide technical assistance to Member States to assess readiness of health systems and facilities to respond to sudden and large arrivals of refugees and migrants, and ensure that disaster risk reduction measures promote capacity building of local partners and local health systems. • Promote the Humanitarian-Development-Peace nexus at the regional level, including the WHO Global Health for Peace Initiative, and support Member States to institutionalize this approach within health sector responses to displacement and migration. Action pillar 3. Develop inclusive environments that promote social inclusion, health, and well-being Objective: Promoting health requires not only formal access to health care, but addressing the social, economic, and environmental determinants of differential health risks and outcomes. Action Pillar 3 aims to facilitate integration and social cohesion, and create inclusive environments that enable refugee, migrant and host populations alike to thrive. Actions for Member States: • Advocate to increase inclusion of refugees and migrants in social security coverage and ensure relevant social protection policies are in place, regardless of migratory status. • Ensure universal birth registration without discrimination to protect the right of all people to recognition before the law. • Assess health risks and opportunities faced by refugees and migrants in the country context, and foster public health initiatives that address social determinants across the life course by improving the quality of social, cultural and physical environments in which refugees and migrants live and work. • Advocate to minimize barriers to meaningful employment and workforce participation, including timely recognition of skills and qualifications in line with national standards, and to ensure workplace health and safety conditions and entitlements apply for all refugees and migrants as for nationals. • Promote education as a key entry point for inclusion and integration, and ensure all refugee and migrant children, including unaccompanied minors, have early entry to schooling and appropriate educational opportunities. • Actively engage across government sectors and civil society to counter discrimination and xenophobia, including through public education campaigns as well as structural and legislative reform as necessary. Actions for WHO Regional Office: • Provide guidance and tools to assist Member States in assessing social determinants of health for refugees and migrants in national and subnational contexts and support the development of responsive policy options. • Develop training and other resources for health and non-health workers to support Member States promote health equity and human-rights based approaches to health and social inclusion. Action pillar 4: Strengthen migration health governance and evidence- and data- driven policymaking Objective: Facilitating safe, responsible, and dignified migration requires a strong commitment to good migration governance and data. Action Pillar 4 aims to promote humane and evidence-informed policies and processes to meet the opportunities and challenges presented by displacement and migration in ways that are respectful of human rights, meaningful, and mutually beneficial. Actions for Member States: • Review legislative and regulatory frameworks and ensure full compliance with international human rights standards, and relevant global and regional instruments to protect and promote the health of refugees and migrants, both in law and practice. • Advocate to optimize administrative procedures, including asylum processes to ensure such procedures do not become a burden affecting the health of refugees and migrants. • Advocate to minimize the use of immigration detention to as a last resort only and seek alternatives for all people to the extent possible. Ensure that detention for children is prohibited in line with global recommendations and international law. • Ensure health assessment and screening practices, where necessary upon entry to the country, are evidence-based and risk-specific, meet ethical recommendations and standards, are provided on a voluntary basis and are followed up with necessary care, preferably through the national health service. • Ensure health workforce recruitment complies with and promotes the ethical principles embedded in the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel. • Strengthen capacity to increase the availability and comparability of migration and health data within national health information systems, ensuring sensitive data is safeguarded from immigration enforcement and related administrative purposes. • Promote mechanisms to ensure migration health data is translated into evidence for policymaking and programming, and disseminated appropriately. Actions for WHO Regional Office: • Support Member States in embedding relevant international laws and standards into national contexts. • Provide capacity building support to Member States on evidence-based and ethical health assessment and screening practices. • Provide guidance and resources to Member States to strengthen the collection and integration of migration health data into national health systems, and support the translation of data into evidence for decision-makng. • Promote engagement with health diplomacy tools to facilitate international and interregional action on health and migration within current systems of governance and negotiation. Action pillar 5. Explore innovative ways of working and develop enabling partnerships Objective: Addressing the public health aspects of displacement and migration requires a whole-of-society and whole-of-route perspective. Action Pillar 5 aims to strengthen collaboration among the constellation of actors with roles and mandates for health and migration, and ensure responses are underpinned by mutual solidarity and partnership. Actions for Member States: • Strengthen health sector capacity to promote intergovernmental and intersectoral engagement on migration, and support all levels and sectors of government to better respond to the health needs of refugees and migrants through the lens of the right to health and well-being. • Continue to foster and strengthen engagement with non-state actors, including nongovernmental organizations, civil society and private sector actors, professional networks, academic partners, faith-based organizations, humanitarian and development actors, and refugees and migrants to build productive partnerships and coordinate actions. • Promote collaboration with educational and research institutions within the region and globally on health and migration to foster knowledge generation and sharing, and develop professional competencies of health and non-health actors. Actions for WHO Regional Office: • Support existing or where necessary new mechanisms for coordination and dialogue to facilitate greater multisectoral, international and interregional engagement on health and migration, such as for timely information exchange and lesson sharing, and to identify and implement joint actions. • Foster academic and research partnerships on health and migration, including in low and middle-income countries in the European and neighbouring regions, and continue engagement with WHO Collaborating Centres.
