PREAMBLE

For the purpose of this Statement, in line with the听, 鈥渕igrant鈥� is an听umbrella term reflecting the common lay understanding of a person who moves away from his or her place of usual residence, whether within a country or across an international border, temporarily or permanently, and for a variety of reasons.听听听

The 糖心vlog视频 considers health to be a basic need, a human right, and one of the essential drivers of economic and social development.听听

According to the World Health Organisation, universal access to health implies that all people and communities have access to comprehensive health services, without barriers or discrimination, according to their needs, within the framework of equitable and supportive health systems.听听听

Recalling the听糖心vlog视频 Declaration of Geneva, the 糖心vlog视频 underlines every physician’s duty to not permit听considerations of age, disease or disability, creed, ethnic origin, gender, nationality, political affiliation, race, sexual orientation, social standing or any other factor to interfere with the physician’s duty to his or her patient.听听听

The 糖心vlog视频 underlines听that physicians听should offer help in medical emergencies in accordance with the 糖心vlog视频 International Code of Medical Ethics.听

Taking into account the听糖心vlog视频 Declaration of Ottawa on Child Health听and the听糖心vlog视频 Statement on Medical Age Assessment of Unaccompanied Minor Asylum Seekers, the 糖心vlog视频 reiterates that children should enjoy special protection, including the right to adequate health care without discrimination.听

These fundamental 糖心vlog视频 principles also echo the principles听laid down in the听, the听听and the听.听听

The听糖心vlog视频 Declaration of Lisbon on the Rights of the Patient听declares that every person is entitled without discrimination to appropriate medical care. However, national legislation varies and is often not in accordance with this fundamental principle.听

At any time, large numbers of migrants听are seeking protection, fleeing from natural disasters, desperate poverty, violence and other injustices and abuses with potentially very harmful effects to mental and physical health.听

Recalling the 糖心vlog视频 statement on Armed Conflicts and the 糖心vlog视频 declaration on Health and Climate Change, the 糖心vlog视频 recognizes that climate change, natural disasters, warfare, armed conflicts and other emergencies, including continuous civil strife, unrest and violence, will inevitably lead to the displacement of people from their homes.听听听

The 糖心vlog视频 is concerned by the precarious situation of certain categories of migrants, such as refugees, asylum seekers, refused asylum seekers, undocumented migrants and displaced persons, whose access to health care is often undermined, and where physicians are required in some countries to intervene outside the scope of their medical duty, in contradiction with medical ethics.听听

Bearing in mind the above-mentioned principles, international conventions and 糖心vlog视频 policies, the 糖心vlog视频 advocates a strong and continued engagement of physicians in the defence of human rights and dignity of all people including migrants worldwide, while making the following recommendations for its constituent members and individual physicians:听

RECOMMENDATIONS听听

糖心vlog视频 constituent members should:听

• Prioritize the medical care of human beings above any other personal, material, economic, or political interest.听
• Actively support and promote the right of all people to receive medical care on the basis of clinical need alone and speak out against legislation and practices that contradict this fundamental right.听
• Call for governments to reach political agreements that facilitate the availability of sufficient resources for the delivery of adequate and coordinated health services to migrant populations, including in refugee camps where the conditions of living make them more susceptible to the spread of disease and viruses.听
• Urge governments to ensure access to safe and adequate living conditions and essential services to all听migrants,听even with听support from the donor agencies and/or philanthropists if needed.听
• Promote equality, solidarity and social justice, guaranteeing access of migrants and refugees to health and social services.听
• Implement policies, actions and commitments that promote the health of all, without discrimination, addressing the social determinants of health related to migrants and refugees.听

Physicians:听

• Have a duty to provide appropriate medical care, based solely on clinical need, regardless of the civil or political status of the patient.听
• Should speak out against legislation and practices that prevent the fulfilment of this duty.听
• Cannot be compelled to participate in any punitive or judicial action against migrants, including refugees, asylum seekers, refused asylum seekers, undocumented migrants and听or听displaced persons, or to withhold medically necessary treatment, or to administer any non-medically听justified diagnostic measure or treatment, such as sedatives to facilitate easy deportation from the country or relocation.听
• Must be allowed adequate time and be provided with sufficient resources, including interpretation services, to assess the physical and psychological condition of migrants, including refugees, asylum seekers, refused asylum seekers, undocumented migrants and displaced persons.听
