Danish Refugee Council to collaborate with EUPHAM

March 29, 2022 /0 Comments/in /by

We are happy to announce that EUPHAM has made its first steps towards establishing a strong and lively collaboration with an essential partner in the field of migrant health – the Danish Refugee Council. Our project leader, professor Maja Savić-Bojanić held a meeting with Nana Kharbedia, the protection manager at DRC and Dr. Marko Isajlović, medical advisor at DRC at DRC premises in Sarajevo. During the meeting, they discussed the upcoming teaching and practical workshops that will be part of the 1st edition of the EUPHAM module.

We are happy to announce that Ms. Kharbedia and Dr. Isajlović will hold a two-day workshop on April 21-22 as part of the teaching activities focusing on both the social aspect of public health of migrants and medical needs assessment.

Stay tuned for more activities between the two collaborators as we also approach this year’s 1st edition of the EUPHAM summer school.
