Continuity of Care for Forcibly Displaced Persons Living with Chronic Illness

When people are forced to flee their homes – due to armed conflict, persecution or human rights violations – continuity of care for those living with chronic illnesses becomes a critical concern. Yet, across the full migratory journey – from displacement and transit, through resettlement, and into possible onward movement such as return or circular migration – access to consistent, appropriate healthcare is often disrupted or fragmented. Responding to the WHO’s global research agenda on health, migration and displacement, this edited volume brings together international research spanning diverse geographical settings, chronic conditions, population groups and methodological approaches. It offers evidence and insights from across the entire continuum of mobility, identifying different types of work or strategies that are central to the evolving needs of forcibly displaced people living with chronic diseases.
