About the Network

The Refugee Health Network was conceived following training sessions held on refugee health during the period 1999 -2001. In each case the evaluations recorded that some of the most important aspects of the day had been the ability to meet and share information with fellow health workers.

Members of the network share information, resources and offer mutal support.

Many members of the network have considerable professional experience and are happy to share their expertise.

The network is open to anyone who works with refugees and asylum seekers and has an interest in health issues. Membership is free but by joining Medact you will ensure the surival of the network
