By leveraging the talents and skills of migrant professionals, the United States can not only address critical shortages in key sectors but also foster diversity, innovation, and economic growth across the nation. It’s imperative to recognize and embrace the immense potential that migrant professionals bring to our communities and economy.

Are you interested in helping to improve migrants’ access to healthcare? Take part in our study on migrants’ experiences attending GPs in Ireland! Increased migration poses challenges for migrants, healthcare providers and policy makers. According to UN High Commissioner for Refugees, access to health care is a basic human right for those seeking protection. Still migrants suffer worse health outcomes in host countries due to health disparities. We aim to examine the experiences of migrants arrived in Ireland since 2015 and identify factors that affect their access to GPs. This is the first study in Ireland and one of few internationally that would give an insight into the challenges that migrants experience regarding their access to primary healthcare. We would like to invite people who have moved to Ireland in the last 8 years and would like to share their experience of getting and going to a GP. If you want to learn more and apply to join the study, email me at m.kulig1@universityofgalway.ie.

Spent the last few days delivering a validation workshop for our study on PHC in Botswana. One of the areas for discussion was the Engagement of Communities. One of the participants raised the question as to why her fellow citizens did not take up the extensive social interventions that were available to them via government and NGOs, and how that makes the population of Botswana different from countries such as Japan, Sweden and Canada where (anecdotally according to the participant) social interventions were well taken up. This left me wondering: 1. Is there some attribute of the culture or people in the countries stated that contributes to this trend or is it merely a function of living in a well-developed country? 2. Is it plausible that people in developing countries are pre-occupied with survival at the expense of even recognising potentially beneficial options available to them? 3. What can we learn from the countries stated as examples and apply them to our contexts to maximise uptake of interventions aimed at reducing the social determinants of health? The conversation unfortunately did not proceed further but I would love to hear others thoughts on this as I untangle this in my brain. #primaryhealthcare #communityengagement #healthpolicy #socialdeterminantsofhealth #globalhealth

#Social corporate Responsibilities Corporate #social responsibility in Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) working with refugees and (IDPs) involves the following aspects: 1. Humanitarian Aid: NGOs have a responsibility to provide humanitarian assistance to refugees and IDPs, including food, shelter, healthcare, education, and psychosocial support. 2. Protection: NGOs must advocate for and ensure the protection of the rights and dignity of refugees and IDPs, including protection from violence, discrimination, and exploitation. 3. Advocacy: NGOs can engage in advocacy efforts to raise awareness about the plight of refugees and IDPs, mobilize support for their needs, and influence policy change at local, national, and international levels. 4. Capacity Building: NGOs should work towards building the capacity of refugees and IDPs to empower them to participate in decision-making processes, improve their livelihoods, and rebuild their lives. 5. Community Integration: NGOs can support the integration of refugees and IDPs into local communities by promoting social cohesion, fostering cultural understanding, and providing opportunities for interaction and collaboration. 6. Sustainable Development: NGOs have a role in promoting sustainable development initiatives that benefit both refugees/IDPs and host communities, such as environmental conservation, economic empowerment, and infrastructure development. 7. Collaboration: NGOs can collaborate with government agencies, international organizations, businesses, and other stakeholders to maximize resources, share expertise, and coordinate efforts for the benefit of refugees and IDPs. 8. Accountability and Transparency: NGOs should operate with transparency and be held accountable for their actions, ensuring that resources are used efficiently and effectively to meet the needs of refugees and IDPs. 9. Monitoring and Evaluation: NGOs should regularly monitor and evaluate their programs and activities to assess impact, identify areas for improvement, and ensure that they are meeting the needs of refugees and IDPs. 10. Ethical Fundraising and Donor Relations: NGOs must conduct fundraising activities ethically, ensuring that funds are used in accordance with donors' intentions and that relationships with donors are based on transparency and trust. These principles of # corporate #social responsibility, NGOs can make a meaningful impact in supporting refugees and IDPs, alleviating their suffering, and promoting their rights and well-being.
