Description of the research topic:

Migration has been recognized as one of the greatest challenges that societies are facing and will continue to face during upcoming decades. Latest global estimates by the UN Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) show that a record of 59•5 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide. The rising need to address public health aspects of migration in emergency situation is gaining increasing relevance since the armed conflict in Syria displaced millions of people. The response to this crisis challenges governments and international organizations, particularly with regard to the response capacity and resilience of health systems and access to health-care services.
This study will take account of the operating procedures and the policies applied by different health clusters to respond to the Syria crisis. The chosen policies will be compared and evaluated in order to formulate a new enhanced policy which is able to strengthen the international capacities for responding to level three emergencies resulting from conflicts.
In order to accomplish this goal, a problem-oriented Policy Analysis Framework is proposed as the methodology to be adopted.
