Covid-19: The Health Challenges of the Pandemic on Migrants and Possible Solutions

Abstract:

One out of every thirty persons residing in different parts of the world are not residing in their own country. Migrants move from place to place in search of better livelihood. With the presence of COVID-19 migrants are restricted by lockdown, many lost their jobs making it difficult to access good health care and their basic needs. These situations precipitated various mental health problems such as depression, sleep disturbances, psychosomatic disorders, and post- traumatic stress disorder. The solution includes; reduction in the cost of health care services and providing health care information in a clear general language.

Our vision is to grow into a Centre of Excellence in Migration Studies by collaborative research and networking with the community of researchers, scholars, institutions, agencies and organizations involved in migration studies, management and governance across the world.
CMS-NAU envisions a nation, a continent and a world of informed peoples and perspectives on migration resulting in a paradigm shift from the migration-as-problem perception to migration-as-prospect orientation: migration as a natural current that creates opportunities for individuals, nations and peoples.

Our mission is to serve as a leading international Centre for the study of local and international migration dynamics with primary focus on Nigeria and Africa through a strategic, collaborative and integrated approach.
