Global health. The current scenario and future perspectives

188 Source: Translated from Ziegler et al., 2022. They concluded that in training of healthcare personnel, the social determinants of health interconnected with diversities should be addressed, in addition to content on medical ethics and a human rights approach. A novel contribution in this context is the publication of a document by the World Health Organization in 2021 called “Health of Migrants and Refugees: Global Competency Standards for Health Workers” (WHO, 2021). In the same year, a curriculum guide and a knowledge guide were added to contribute to operationalizing these standards. Achieving universal coverage for this population requires strong health systems with competent health workers who have been trained, supported and empowered to provide quality care centered on migrant and refugee populations. The purpose of generating these standards is to contribute to the training processes of healthcare workers through an outcome-based competency approach that can guide the curriculum within the healthcare field and be tailored to local needs. The standards focus on competencies and expected behavior of healthcare workers in providing quality health services for migrant and refugee populations. These are organized into five domains with a series of competencies and behavioral aspects within each domain. Table 1 provides a summary.
