Proposal: A Transnational Gateway for Access, Training, and Empowerment in Migrant Healthcare
Proposed Implementation: 2026 to 2030
Call: AMIF-2025-TF2-AG-INTE – Transnational Actions on Asylum, Migration and Integration 2025
Topic: AMIF-2025-TF2-AG-INTE-02-HEALTH
Type of Action: AMIF-PJG – AMIF Project Grants
Proposed Budget: 1 779 118,96€
Keywords: migrant health, integration, healthcare access, well-being, accessibility, health literacy, vulnerable groups
Objective: Address the critical gap between migrants’ legal entitlement to healthcare services and their actual ability to access those services, according to the EU Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion (2021-2027) and the Pact on Asylum and Migration.
Project has been designed on a transnational, evidence-based and participatory methodology, in order to:
- increase migrants’ awareness regarding their healthcare rights and accessibility to relevant services,
- build the capacity of healthcare professionals and public officials to deliver inclusive, culturally competent and trauma-informed care
- raise awareness of the special health needs of vulnerable groups,
- foster transnational mutual learning and knowledge transfer by leveraging on existing tools and practices and
- advocate for policy change, on a systemic level, finally achieving equitable access to healthcare.
These objectives will be achieved via needs analysis which will indicate the relevant barriers. Through a co-design methodology, a series of comprehensive resources will be developed and exploited, all hosted on an accessible e-Health Learning Platform. These resources will be piloted and delivered through a series of capacity-building activities for multiple stakeholders, including migrants, healthcare professionals and public officials, resulting in a relevant policy recommendation.
The project mobilizes a multi-disciplinary partnership, across EU member-states with varying levels of health system inclusiveness, promoting cross-border collaboration and transfer of knowledge and practice. And will involve more than 3.600 migrants and 300 healthcare professionals and public officials in 6 countries.
