PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project is a collaboration between Columbia University Mailman
School of Public Health and the Faculty of Health Sciences at the American
University of Beirut.
It
aimed to influence policy by providing a compelling evidence-based argument
that the current global frameworks for refugee health are not optimally
configured for the 21st century needs. By highlighting gaps and best practices
with regards to the changing health needs of refugees and the specific
challenges of providing health services to refugees living outside of camps,
the project informed policy makers and governments and illustrated potential
positive changes, enhancing health services for the millions of displaced
Syrians in the Middle East and Turkey and millions of additional displaced
people (DP) worldwide.
