Summary (goals and purposes of the project)
The MEM-TP project aims to improve
access and quality of health services for
migrants and ethnic minorities in the EU
and to reduce observed inequities. To
achieve this aim, the consortium works
to:
Present an overview of the
situation of migrants and ethnic
minorities in Europe regarding
their access to and use of health
services, and the extent to
which services are adapted to
their specific needs.
Building on previous experience,
create a framework, a training
programme and validated
teaching-learning materials for
all health care providers, aimed
at improving the accessibility,
quality and appropriateness of
care provided to migrants and
ethnic minorities in the EU.
Develop and apply a structured
process, enabling those with
primary responsibility in training
and continuing education of health
care providers in each involved
country to take ownership of their
training programmes, through
active adaptation of the materials
to their local situation and needs.
