In this milestone Episode 50 of the Georgian Medical Journal Podcast, we explore the latest findings from the World Health Organization report on refugee and migrant health, published on 26 March 2026.

The report highlights a significant global shift: more than 60 countries now include refugees and migrants in national health policies, marking important progress toward more inclusive and resilient health systems.

However, critical gaps remain. Only 37% of countries systematically collect migration-related health data, fewer than half include migrants in emergency preparedness plans, and access to care is still highly unequal—especially for undocumented populations.

This episode examines:

• Why inclusive health systems are essential for global health security
• The link between migration, equity, and universal health coverage
• Real-world examples from countries implementing innovative solutions
• The policy, ethical, and operational challenges that still persist

As migration continues to shape global health dynamics, the message is clear:
health systems are only truly universal when they serve everyone.
