IOM s programme involves close partnership with government counterparts and builds capacity of partners and migrant hosting communities for health promotion, diagnostics, referral, treatment, and for extension of service delivery to vulnerable groups. The comprehensive package addresses key health challenges faced by migrants, including maternal and child health, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and in some locations primary care.
