MdM worked in Tijuana and Mexicali and one of the objectives was to facilitate access to healthcare for migrant populations. Health consultations have been offered to migrants who have been deported and who are not accommodated in our partners’ accommodation centres. Information and referral sessions, to help people access appropriate health services, are also organised.
MdM’s second migrant project aimed to prevent transmission of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections. The activities carried out include HIV screening for migrants attending and referral of HIV-positive cases to specialist services for treatment.
The programme’s third objective was to promote and encourage the respect of the right to health for the migrant populations on the northern border. To this end, an information campaign on access to healthcare was organised. A system for collecting epidemiological and social data concerning the migrants attending the project was implemented, and the results were disseminated to our partner organisations.

The project ended on 31 October 2008.

an autonomous, appropriate health system. More specifically, our programme will aim to improve access to healthcare and prevention, and will help build capacity to manage a community-based, inter-cultural health system. In this way we will support the process of sustainable social, human and economic development.
