General Description
In a globalised world, migration is everywhere, and growing fast… but are our health services prepared to respond to the needs of a multicultural society?
During the last years, the European migrant crisis has brought under the spotlight the need to carry out a change in our view on healthcare, so as to ensure that it is inclusive and efficient. This course aims to provide an overview on all the different ways that migration in general and more specifically culture may influence health, in the Mediterranean context. We will be focusing on the Turkish and Spanish setting.
We strongly believe that future and current healthcare workers should be able to tackle these issues.
