The main objective of the EUR-HUMAN project is to reinforce and develop skills and abilities, and to expand knowledge and experience in the EU member-states receiving refugees and immigrants, ultimately aiming to successfully address the various health needs of these vulnerable groups in an effective manner, as well as to ensure that all population groups in these European countries are well-protected, safeguarding them from specific risk factors and at the same time minimizing cross-border health risks.
This online-course is part of the work-package 6 of this project and has the special aim to support building capacity of the primary health care providers through closing knowledge gaps regarding different issues of primary health care for refugees/asylum seekers and other newly arrived migrants in the respective countries.
Work-package 6 of the EUR-HUMAN project was coordinated by the team of the Medical University of Vienna: Medizinische Universität Wien.
