Abstract:

The purpose of this round table is to invite experts from the global South to discuss the impacts for immigrants' health of the changements going on in the pós-covid world.This changements has had impacts in different levels in the migratory flux and consequently in the health conditions for immigrants and refugees. In the pós-pandemic times the journeys for immigrants have become much more difficult and in some cases dangerous. The consequences are related to wars, social inequalities, climate change, the prejudice which migrants are mainly victims, in some countries there are being victims of misguided campaigns that state that immigration is the cause of a lot of problems. Despite this, researchers have for a long time pointed out the benefits of immigration to the host countries, in economics but in cultural terms as well. The anthropological approach to the people on international mobility can show the transnational connections as well as the strategies of the immigrants to deal with the difficulties they usually face. The context of international mobility demands the attention to the Social Determinants of Health in all the stages of the migration process. Before the immigrants leave their home countries, during the displacement, and during the installation in their new countries, understanding how the Covid pandemic has impacted the international migratory process becomes a fundamental key to understand the new paths of immigration for next years.
