The EUPHAM module has a strategic objective of engaging higher education students from the area of social sciences and medicine, but also civil society workers and policy makers – into the subject of EU public health protection of migrants. By establishing the module, students who are not traditionally involved in public policy making (medical students) will be able to thrive working at the junction of political science and public health.
The project also has the following specific objectives:
- to significantly strengthen the offered curriculum at SSST, especially for political science and/or medical students, by offering an EU-health policy course with a specific focus on migrant health and;
- to contribute to better academic, professional and media coverage of the new challenges presented with the migration crisis and Covid-19 pandemic in terms of offering knowledge on EU health policy standards and their specific application and meaning for migrants’ health protection in the European Union.
- To offer the knowledge and skills in addressing importance of universal health care for migrants with focus on evidence-based and inclusive policies.
- To create a hub of knowledge that would provide important education about global health with focus on migrations, and impact of knowledge, habits, and attitudes in migrant population on disease prevention.
- To offer information and models for decision makers.
