Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global public health issue, with forced migrants facing higher risks of infection and AMR during their journeys and in host countries.
- A study with 27 participants revealed that these migrants encountered poor living conditions, limited access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), and difficulties in accessing healthcare, exacerbating health problems like urinary and skin issues.
- The results emphasize the urgent need for coordinated interventions to improve healthcare access and mitigate AMR risks among migrant populations.
