Situational brief on Mexico – EN

Aligned to the Lancet Migration Global Statement to include migrants and refugees in countries’ response to COVID-19, this update focuses on Mexico’s challenges and opportunities to build an inclusive response that is based on a contextualized adaptation of the recommendations published by the Lancet Migration. A critical component for this analysis is the recognition of migration as a social determinant of health, which acts as a major risk factor for populations subjected to violence, trauma and forced exile while in the face of a global pandemic.
