Article Synopsis
- The MENA region experiences significant migration, yet there's limited data on the health of migrant populations, including their immunisation levels and healthcare access, necessitating systematic reviews to gather this information.
- The protocol outlines seven systematic reviews focusing on disease burdens and health outcomes, health policies, and healthcare access barriers for migrants regarding diseases like tuberculosis, HIV, diabetes, and more from 2000-2023.
- Findings will be shared through academic publications and conferences to inform health program design and improve health outcomes for these populations.
