Pillinger, Jane; Gencianos, Genevieve and Yeates, Nicola (2022). Risks and Responses: what risks did migrant health care workers face during the Covid-19 pandemic? what were the responses of governments and other stakeholders? The Open University-Public Services International, Milton Keynes/Ferney Voltaire.

Abstract

This Factsheet draws on OU and PSI research2 carried out in 2022, which found that migrant health workers are regularly and disproportionately exposed to occupational health hazards, and are at a greater risk of contracting COVID-19 and experiencing severe harm and death. Policy responses have not addressed these additional risks and have not addressed health workforce shortages, putting health care workers and population health in harm’s way.
