Global health. The current scenario and future perspectives

185 systems. This has generally resulted in explicit policies in some countries and other countries that simply have not incorporated this international migrant population into their offer of services and healthcare provisions. Currently, few countries in the Americas region have migration and health policies. These include Chile and Colombia under development. Nonetheless, the existence of a specific policy in itself does not guarantee access and coverage for this specific population. Healthcare systems have found themselves challenged, sometimes overwhelmed by the massive arrival of new international migrant users but also by healthcare professionals (doctors dentists nurses etc.) from different places in Latin America within a short period of time. Healthcare systems in the region are also observed as unequal both in infrastructure and equipment as well as its institutional organization where universal systems coexist with a predominance of the State’s role (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Ecuador) and other systems with a smaller state role greater and emphasis on the private sector (Chile, Colombia and Peru). Therefore, the increase in migration affects the health system, the type of healthcare organization in each country and the healthcare human resources who receive this international migrant population. Thus, the increase in migratory flow highlights these structural differences of each system, of its institutional cultural deficiencies and access barriers. This imposes cooperation challenges and an integration perspective with special emphasis on the role played by healthcare system like the various professions that are performed there. This article addresses the training and importance of highly prepared professionals to address this constantly increasing challenge and global concern. Training of healthcare professionals who contribute to the well-being and right to health of international migrant and refugee populations Migratory processes have increased worldwide and in the region, and they are here to stay. Even more so in this scenario of global uncertainty between the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change and the recent war in northern Europe, which could eventually generate new processes of human mobility. Throughout the last decade, Latin American states have taken diverse actions in generating programs for access to social services for international migrant populations. These include facilitators of documentation processes that contribute to reducing barriers to access as well as reactive facilitators or omission. In some places, this phenomenon has been made invisible and the popular outcry has put it onto the public agenda through stigma and criminalization, thus creating a kind of competition between those at the
