Support to Community Stabilization of the Conflict-Affected Population in the Donbas

The overall objective of this action is to support increased social cohesion among vulnerable and conflict affected populations, thereby contributing to their socio-economic recovery. To achieve this objective, the project will provide social infrastructure upgrades, establishment of day-care centres linked with psychosocial support, job creation initiatives and community-based socio-cultural activities. The project will be an important contribution to the early recovery and better integration of IDPs within the host communities.

Support to Community Stabilization in the Donbas

The project will assist in the inclusive revitalization of post-conflict areas by renovating and upgrading selected social infrastructure such as social, educational and medical facilities as well as providing livelihoods opportunities that benefit the whole community.

National profile of migration of health professionals - Ukraine

Worldwide mobility of health professionals (MoHProf) is a growing phenomenon, impacting the health systems of receiving, transit, and sending countries. EU Member States are increasingly affected by these developments - which might occur simultaneously within the same country. Therefore, the need to develop European policies to adequately address these issues is urgent. At the same time, reliable and differentiated knowledge and findings as a basis for such policy are lacking.

The health of trafficked women: A survey of women entering posttrafficking services in Europe

The trafficking of women and adolescents is increasingly recognized as one of the world’s fastest growing crimes and a significant violation of human rights. Despite the compelling need for evidence on the physical and psychological health consequences to inform rapidly emerging policies and services for trafficked persons, there is limited evidence about the needs of women who have been trafficked. We investigated the health of women and adolescent girls trafficked for sexual exploitation in Europe who were entering posttrafficking services.

At the request of the Government of the United Kingdom, IOM implements the Tuberculosis (TB) Detection Programme for visa applicants who intend to stay in the UK for a period of 6 months or longer.
