Challenge and priorities [1]
Vulnerable migrants are...migrants who are in a situation of
distress or particularly at risk of being abused.
– Many states in the region are not able to respond effectively to
the needs of vulnerable migrants. Others are reluctant to
provide support in case this fuels further irregular migration,
despite evidence to the contrary.
• Reducing health risks linked to mobility: – ASEAN studies to
monitor and develop policies towards migrant health needs
should expand in order to keep pace with the dynamics of
contemporary migration.
– Health systems should be made accessible and sensitive to
migrants and their health requirements.
