- Ensure implementation of a robust “health in all policy”
- Address discrimination as a health determinant in specific and focused initiatives
- Take concrete steps to mitigate health-related effects of immigraton control
- Support more and better data on & analysis of migrant and ethnic minority health
- Promote greater focus on structural, rather than stop-gap, change to health systems and shortcomings in service deliver
