Resumen |
Migrant health is receiving increasing attention in Europe and is a priority for ECDC. This summary presents the main findings of an ECDC project to assess the burden of infectious diseases among migrants in the EU/EEA and the completeness, quality and usefulness of data collected by the European Surveillance System (TESSy). The infectious diseases covered are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis (TB), hepatitis B, hepatitis C, gonorrhoea, syphilis, measles and rubella, malaria and Chagas disease. These diseases were selected because data disaggregated by migrant status is collected by TESSy or because evidence suggests that they may disproportionately affect migrants in the EU/EEA. |
