“Adult Education for the Protection of the Vector-Borne Diseases in Immigrants in Europe”

The exposure of refugees and migrants to the risks associated with population movements – psychosocial disorders, reproductive health problems, higher newborn mortality, nutrition disorders, drug abuse, alcoholism and exposure to violence – increase their vulnerability to both communicable and the infectious diseases. The key issue with regard to the infectious diseases is the interruption of care, due either to lack of access or to the decimation of health care systems; displacement causes interruption of the continuous treatment that is crucial for chronic conditions. The vulnerable individuals, especially children, could be infected with infectious vector-borne diseases because of poor living conditions, suboptimal hygiene, and deprivation during migration.Consequently, the vision of the here proposed project is creating a training program in Europe notably Turkey in order to prevent the infectious vector-borne diseases which are associated with increased immigration and especially caused by reducing hygiene.Considering that healthcare personnel availability depends on different factors such as the size of the centre, number of people living in the centre, the geographical isolation of the centre and funding availability, the concrete project objectives, referring to the vision above, are; -providing an opportunity to enhance the overview of what EU and the candidate states of EU do, their impact, and other key statistics of the needs of migrants, in order to provide a global picture of migration.-constituting a stronger knowledge base on migration, including through global research on needs, trends and other common factors of migrants,-providing an opportunity to further share learning across regions while sharing of learning occurs through national border networks-improving the skills and knowledge of the trainers who service to solve or reduce the public health issues through more scientific view and understanding,-making a contribution to social integration among the migrants and host societies across Europe.Since the main goal of the project is creating a training program in Europe notably Turkey in order to prevent the infectious vector-borne diseases which are associated with increased immigration, the project should be carried out transnationally.
