The World Health Organisation is set to take up the issue of “Migration and Health” through an online interaction on August 8. Hosted by WHO's office for Europe, the online series seeks to engage communities throughout the region on the vital aspects of migration and migrating people. Globally, the WHO says, more people are on the move now than ever before. There are an estimated 1 billion migrants in the world today, of whom 250 million are international migrants and 763 million internal migrants – one in seven of the world’s population. 65 million of the world’s internal and international migrants are forcibly displaced today.
