近年来，移徙者的健康一直是各种国际协定的主题。与此同时，这一领域的学术研究也在增长。然而，在国际一级加强关注并不一定加强许多中低收入国家推动循证国家政策和行动的能力。南亚移民健康网络旨在挑战该地区取得进展的一些障碍。这方面的例子包括，在研究经费和研究所设置方面偏向于高收入国家的机构，以及该区域总体上缺乏以政策为重点的研究。MiHSA将让研究人员、资助者和政策制定者共同确定最紧迫但可行的研究问题，这些问题有助于加强与该地区国情相关的移民和难民健康。此外，还将从健康和权利的角度审查针对本区域不同移徙人口的政策和规定，以确定从战略上使研究议程与决策者提出的问题相一致的机会。移徙政策在全球一级与卫生和劳工等其他领域的趋同，使本区域的决策者越来越有必要参与跨部门对话，以调整优先事项和协调应对措施。这些应对措施必须超越狭隘的公共卫生干预措施，采用基于权利的办法，以解决该区域复杂的移徙模式，以及移徙者的不稳定性、脆弱性和能动性。
Migrant health has been the subject of various international agreements in recent years. In parallel, there has been a growth in academic research in this area. However, this increase in focus at international level has not necessarily strengthened the capacity to drive evidence-informed national policy and action in many low- and middle-income countries. The Migration Health South Asia (MiHSA) network aims to challenge some of the barriers to progress in the region. Examples include the bias towards institutions in high-income countries for research funding and agenda-setting and the overall lack of policy-focused research in the region. MiHSA will engage researchers, funders and policy-makers in collectively identifying the most pressing, yet feasible, research questions that could help strengthen migrant and refugee health relevant to the region's national contexts. In addition, policies and provisions for different migrant populations in the region will be reviewed from the health and rights perspectives, to identify opportunities to strategically align research agendas with the questions being asked by policy-makers. The convergence of migration policy with other areas such as health and labour at global level has created a growing imperative for policy-makers in the region to engage in cross-sector dialogue to align priorities and coordinate responses. Such responses must go beyond narrow public health interventions and embrace rights-based approaches to address the complex patterns of migration in the region, as well as migrants' precarity, vulnerabilities and agency.
