Information network on good practice in health care for migrants and minorities in Europe

The MIGHEALTHNET project aims to help health care services meet the challenge of providing adequate care to increasingly multicultural European populations by giving professionals, policy makers, researchers, educators and migrant and minority groups easy access to a dynamically evolving body of knowledge and a virtual network of expertise.


The network will stimulate the formation of scientific and professional communities concerned with migrant and minority health and promote the exchange of information and expertise, both within and between countries. The project will set up and publicise ’country wikis’ (interactive web sites) in local languages.

The ‘wikis’ will contain information about individuals, organisations and resources dealing with migrant and minority health. They will be linked to each other and to a central (English-language) site, constituting an important resource and network for stakeholders and helping to create a “critical mass” which can bring about policy changes on the basis of evidence and experience.

The European Public Health Alliance is a collaborating partner of the project MIGHEALTHNET. The project has 16 partners in different European countries. The project is funded by the Public Health Programme of the European Commission.
