Topic
Migration is a rapidly growing global phenomenon. The number of foreign born people within the EU 27 is estimated as high as 50 million. Addressing migrant health goes beyond issues of differing morbidity profiles and vaccination status linked to country of origin or potential for spreading diseases, such as SARS, MDR TB, or tropical diseases. Health and social assistance tailored to migrants needs is also essential, serving their smooth and successful integration with clear social and economic benefit. Public health safety, human rights and health impact of transcultural aspects should be equally addressed. EU external Schengen borders are increasingly exposed to irregular migration. The number of victims of trafficking (the new white slavery) is estimated to hundreds of thousands yearly in the EU. They are seriously abused physically, sexually and psychically. Their proper care and treatment needs specially prepared staff. The health-related issues of an increasing number of tourists traveling the world for business and leisure further require attention to questions of protection and avoidance of health hazards. Doctors must develop appropriate knowledge of the clinical signs and symptoms of the most common infections in the topics, like malaria, dengue fever, etc. Lack of knowledge in this regard may risk the life of the patients.
The curriculum is turning the attention to and provides the basic knowledge and skills for answering the need generated by the rapidly growing number of migrants and tourists who may appear and ask for assistance at any level of the health care system Europe wide. Recognizing rare diseases, providing proper medical assistance for travellers and migrants is a priority aim of this curriculum while it helps also in coping successfully with intercultural, inter-religious problems and their health impact and understanding well the human rights angle of the successful integration of migrants.
