Population Mobility Mapping Consultancy

IOM Viet Nam works with the Ministry of Health (MOH), Government of Viet Nam, to deliver on the promise of migration by enabling migrants, mobile populations and host communities to sustainably contribute to society by creating conditions in which they enjoy the highest attainable standard of health and well-being along all mobility pathways. 

We deliver and promote comprehensive, preventative and curative health programmes that are beneficial, accessible, rights-based and equitable for migrants, mobile populations and host communities. In doing so, we strive to create an enabling environment to advance evidence-informed and inclusive health and migration policies and support governments in their decision-making processes. This will sustainably contribute to enhancing migrants’ empowerment, inclusion, and resilience in society, as well as better public health and health security for all.
