The World Health Organization (WHO) has noted significant progress in inclusive health policies for refugees and migrants. According to new data, more than 60 countries, representing two-thirds of those surveyed, have included this group in their national health policies and legislation. This shift indicates a growing recognition of the health needs of refugees and migrants at a global level. WHO considers this a positive trend towards a fairer and more inclusive health system.
