This session will explore the need for intersectoral cooperation to deliver necessary services to people when they are on the move, on arrival and in the longer term. Recently, WHO concluded that while conflict and emergencies can disrupt HIV care, there is little risk that HIV is transmitted by people on the move. However, their vulnerability to HIV increases upon arrival in the next country. We anticipate an interesting discussion that will inform the audience and the general public about the consequences of inadequately addressing needs of people who migrate. The session will be introduced by a talk to set the context, and then divided into two themes in a Davos-style moderated panel, representing a range of stakeholders. The first theme will address issues for people displaced in crisis and on immediate arrival; the second will address longer-term needs of migrants in accessing public health services.
