Migration corridors in Africa and access to health services: Current challenges and a path forward for research and practice

This commentary discusses migration corridors on the African continent and access to health services. It stems from a workshop on migration corridors held in South Africa and reflects the interdisciplinary collaborative dialogue on migration journeys and healthcare, incorporating physical and mental well-being. We must reimagine migration narratives and healthcare accessibility and call for new methods of knowledge generation and service provision. By framing the migration journey as corridors that take many directions, beyond the 'Global South' to 'Global North' paradigm, we propose that the healthcare sector can more effectively utilise interdisciplinary research methods centring the well-being of migrants. Considering this reframing, we call for reimagined funding structures, ethical technology use and new methods of knowledge generation and service provision.
