    Prioritising displaced children in the global refugee agenda - 10 month(s) ago

    The Third Global Consultation on the Health of Refugees and Migrants kicked off in June, 2023, with the adoption of the Rabat Declaration, an expression of heightened commitment from the UN towards refugees and migrants through more inclusive national health policies. Though only signed by 30 Member States, the Declaration dovetails the 76th World Health Assembly’s extension of the WHO global action plan on promoting the health of refugees and migrants, 2019–2023 to 2030. Regrettably, the Declaration does not reflect the needs of children who are increasingly and disproportionately affected by displacement, nor does it consider that most displaced children who are forced to flee never cross an international border.
