MCHP-t, a tool to drive change

The project is developing the Migrant Health Country Profile tool (MHCP-t), a tool that will inform health care practitioners and policymakers on how to effectively monitor and respond to migrants’ health needs on multiple infections and other key diseases, as well as vaccination coverage.

7 countries pioneering MHCP-t’s development

A prototype of MHCP-t will be initially tested in Morocco, Tunisia and Sudan, and later rolled-out in Algeria, Libya, Egypt and Yemen.

The implementation of the MHCP-t will provide access to an unprecedented database as well as analysis tools on migrant health in the MENA region. Thus, we aim to strengthen data collection, facilitate cross-country comparisons and transform service delivery and policy-making around migration and health.

Ensuring the long-term sustainability of the outcomes

Both the MHCP-t tool and the MENA Migrant Health network are set to evolve alongside with the future needs of migrant health in the region and will eventually be rolled out in other regions around the world.

The long-term transformative changes are:

Innovation

The transformation of migrant health data collection to strengthen cross-country and regional health surveillance and drive policy changes to improve health outcomes.

Research capacity

The development of a flagship International PhD programme as the foundation for the creation and future expansion of an early and mid-career researcher network that will remain active beyond the duration of this grant.

Sustainability

The careful embedment of MHCP-t into routine health systems to ensure country ownership and facilitate cross-country and regional dialogue and data sharing.
