Strengthening evidence on migrant workers’ health in Nepal

Open access0 citations

Abstract

Abstract Thousands of Nepalese labour migrants have died abroad in past decades, and morbidity is also high. The high volume of data collected through pre-departure health screening, unfortunately, remains largely unused. Making better use of health data, including by trusted public health researchers, could help develop health interventions for migrant workers.
