A Global Resource for Evidence-Based Practice

In this episode, we build on the momentum of Episode 51, which explored system-level implications for inclusive, resilient healthcare systems, and move deeper into the evidence infrastructure now available to support researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers working in refugee and migrant health.

The Georgian Medical Journal Podcast serves as a platform translating scientific evidence into policy-relevant insights for clinicians, researchers, and decision-makers worldwide.

This episode presents the GMJ × PHIG Health and Migration Knowledge Hub — a curated open-access platform of 130+ peer-reviewed resources across 14 thematic sections, through a structured, evidence-informed lens:

- The WHO Global Action Plan 2019–2030 and the 2026 First Global Baseline Report

- WHO Global Competency Standards: 9 standards, 113 countries, 600+ certificates

- Mental health evidence: mhGAP-HIG, RHS-15, and the WHO GEHM Series

- Climate change and displacement: emerging evidence and policy priorities

- Six foundational global policy frameworks every practitioner must know

- Training pathways: WHO Academy, ECDC 24-language courses, and Master's degrees

🔬 Focus of the Episode

Globally, human mobility is at unprecedented levels. Evidence-informed practice in refugee and migrant health requires structured access to authoritative, current resources. This episode maps that landscape — from WHO flagship reports to validated clinical tools, from foundational UN policy frameworks to postgraduate training programmes at Oxford, LSE, LSHTM, and Geneva.

🌍 Context and Relevance

This episode positions the Knowledge Hub not as a reading list, but as a living infrastructure for the global migration health community — produced on a fully volunteer basis by the Georgian Medical Journal and the Public Health Institute of Georgia, with zero external funding.
