🫶🏾 Today is World Refugee Day, when we stand in solidarity with people who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution or crisis. ⚠️ At the end of 2024, 122.6 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide – an increase of over 5 million compared to the year before. Refugees face unique and compounding health challenges: 🔹 Disrupted access to care 🔹 Exacerbated chronic illnesses 🔹 Elevated mental health needs 🔹 Discrimination and isolation 🔹 Poor living and working conditions 🔹 Linguistic and cultural barriers to services 💪🏽 Refugees bring skills, resilience and cultural enrichment. When we safeguard their well-being, we unlock their full potential and strengthen our communities in return. 💡 Access to health care must be continuous, timely, culturally responsive and inclusive. Health workers who are trained to understand diverse needs are at the heart of building resilient, people-centred systems. Learn more and join the campaign here ➡️ https://bit.ly/44aYZvi
