The health of the migrant population crossing the #Darien region between Colombia and Panama is an issue of great relevance and concern. The high migratory flow in this area presents significant challenges for the health systems of both countries, while also highlighting the vulnerabilities faced by the migrant population. That is why I am pleased to share the most recent PAHO report, in which we analyze the main challenges and opportunities in accessing health services for the migrant population in this region: https://lnkd.in/gXcw-hkR #Migrants

Hoy, en el panel internacional sobre las enfermedades desatendidas, enfatice que la relación entre salud y pobreza es bidireccional. Las poblaciones de menores ingresos se enferman más y, cuando se enferman, se empobrecen, incluso en países donde la atención sanitaria es gratuita.
