TEAMHP's Executive Commitee has been encouraging members from across the continent to come this important gathering as it can be a unique follow-up opportunity after the MH-PIE Foundation event of TEAMHP in October 2017

MERH

The MERH 2018 Congress is hosted by an independent, non-profit making company working under the auspices of The University of Edinburgh, the European Public Health Association and NHS Health Scotland.  We intend to deliver you a memorable, affordable, academic and social programme in one of the most spectacular cities in the world.

The MERH congress will replace the 7th EUPHA Migrant and Ethnic Health Section Conference. 

Congress aims :

• Improve research, population health and health care for migrants and other discriminated-against populations
• Bring together policy, social science, clinical, social service and public health perspectives and share and transfer learning within and across countries
• Examine contemporary problems across the globe and debate suggested solutions
• Consider health effects of social, environmental and demographic change associated with population migration, and the effects on diseases and their causes
• Find ways to overcome differences in concepts and terminology so the field can be understood internationally in acceptable language
• Provide opportunities for people to showcase their work and to meet to share experience and motivations
• Build networks that will last beyond the Congress itself
