Comparing Australian Refugee‐Related Health Policies With the World Health Organization's Framework for Improving Refugee Integration and Health Outcomes
By the end of 2024, disasters had displaced 120 million people globally, with refugees among the most vulnerable populations experiencing notable health challenges. This study reviewed Australia's refugee health policies, given its important role in the UN refugee settlement program, and compared them with WHO guidelines to identify gaps and propose evidence‐informed improvements. Twelve national and jurisdictional policy documents published by J…
Mapping Variation in Delivery Models and Data Recording of Primary Care Social Prescribing Link Worker (SPLW) Schemes Across Five Regions in England and Scotland
Social prescribing link workers (SPLWs) connect people to community resources for better health and well‐being. Over the past decade, SPLW schemes have expanded rapidly in NHS primary care in England and Scotland. However, how these schemes have been implemented and assessed in different parts of England and Scotland is not well understood. A mapping exercise of SPLW schemes in three English and two Scottish regions was undertaken to identify ser…
Barriers and facilitators to primary healthcare utilization among immigrants and refugees of low and middle-income countries
INTRODUCTION: Primary health care (PHC) is the most common model for providing primary care, and PHC services are the most common points of care that immigrants and refugees attend as a first step. Most immigrants travel to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet only a few studies have examined their health conditions and their access to PHC in these countries. We have attempted to identify the barriers and facilitators that immigrants and…
Barriers and enabling factors for utilizing physical rehabilitation services by Afghan immigrants and refugees with disabilities in Iran
The barriers and enabling factors uncovered in this study offer valuable insights into the complexities surrounding PRS utilization by Afghan immigrants and refugees with disabilities in Iran. Understanding and addressing these factors is essential for developing targeted interventions and policies that can improve access and utilization, ultimately leading to enhanced health outcomes for this vulnerable population
Financing of health services for undocumented immigrants in Iran
INTRODUCTION: Iran is host to one of the largest urban refugee populations worldwide, about two million of whom are undocumented immigrants (UIs). UIs are not eligible to enroll in the Iranian health insurance scheme and have to pay out-of-pocket to access most health services. This increases the likelihood that they will delay or defer seeking care, or incur substantial costs if they do seek care, resulting in worse health outcomes. This study a…

The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of the status of the poor in the HSEP. Based on this evaluation, the authors will provi…
Power structure among the actors of financial support to the poor to access health services
Analysis of social functions in Iran’s public hospitals
Purpose Exemption from hospital charges may appear as an essential policy in order to support the poor. Such policies can function for the fulfillment of governments’ social- and justice-based responsibilities in public hospitals. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the pattern of offering discounts to the poor and the effect of Iran’s recent Health Sector Evolution Plan on it. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted analytical …
