Abstract
Introduction The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is characterized by major health disparities and complex migration flows. Yet, because of a lack of epidemiological data, there is an urgent need to strengthen routine data collection around migrant health and to define key indicators towards migrant health monitoring. To address this problem, we aim to design and pilot test the Migrant Health Country Profile tool (MHCP-t) which can collate country-level data collection around migration health data, policies, and healthcare provision.
Objective: To map how social, commercial, political, and digital determinants of health have changed or emerged during the recent digital transformation of society and to identify priority areas for policy action.
Using an evidence-based knowledge synthesis approach, this report examined the effectiveness of disinsection for eradicating adult mosquitoes aboard international air, marine and land conveyances, and additionally investigated the human safety, toxicity, and tolerability of insecticides applied for mosquito disinsection.

This research agenda provides a road map on how these five priorities (namely: scaling up access to services and universal health coverage; making health emergency preparedness more responsive; better understanding determinants of health; bringing visibility to under-researched groups, and finding new ways to collaborate in research) can be achieved over the next five years.
This article explores the critical involvement of diasporas in enhancing global health outcomes through partnerships, expertise transfer, and advocacy. It focuses on three key areas: the contributions of diaspora health professionals, the implementation of transnational and national initiatives, and their role in fostering health equity and innovation within the broader global context.
