The global Migration, Health, and Development Research Initiative (MHADRI) aims to advance evidence-informed global migration health policies and practices that will improve the health and wellbeing of people and communities affected by migration.

We invite active researchers, from any discipline and organisational background – including early career researchers, graduate students and NGO-based researchers – to join the network. Members are currently researching any aspect(s) of the relationship between migration and health, especially those based in global south contexts, from developing nations or those classified as low-income, lower-middle-income or upper-middle-income countries.
