The existing model for health provision in refugee camps is not fit for purpose, especially for protracted displacement. As individuals are increasingly displaced beyond the temporary period for which camps are designed, it is critical that we reimagine care provision in such settings and give increased attention to individuals' dynamic and complex needs throughout their displacement. This Commentary reflects ongoing discussions from an interdisciplinary group that began at a 2024 workshop in Cairo, Egypt. As numerous challenges, including defunding and division between refugee and host communities, continue to worsen in the current political climate, it is imperative that we critically examine how our current systems for health provision in displacement settings can be made more ethical, sustainable and integrated
