This requires different methodologies of interventions from the educational and income policies, economic and social development of neighborhoods and the individual medical interventions. Population mobility internationally is a key factor in the emergence of health threats and risks. This has to be managed globally. The mobility of population can be a link of zones of low disease prevalence to disease emergence zones. This is through a large population movement from one nation to the other. The international migration which is a result of globalization, impact health on the migrant’s source, nations of transits and the recipient’s nations. The migration of the population of peoples from locations with diverse health determinants and outcomes develops public health threats and risks internationally.

This is illustrated by how the emergence of novel influenza A/HINI virus was rapidly detected and the responses made in 2009. The forces behind human population movement internationally will continue and may become stronger in all nations globally as individuals move for better opportunities such as education, security, and health. The diversity and disparity are clear inequalities to both individuals and societal levels which has a huge effect on public health. The development of programmatic and standardized approaches to migration and health is being proposed as an effective and operational strategy for global health. Methods Reports on public health and human population mobility are available from national and international organizations and agencies. These include World Health Organization, International Labor Organization, International Organization for Migration, World Bank, European Centers for Disease Prevention and Control and the Health Protection Agency (UK).

Reports human population demographics, country source and reporting region and the health measurements outcomes are kept by these agencies and sought out from them. Human population mobility The migration of human population develops several factors that are important in determining the future of public health threats and risks for all nations in the world. (2013), 20% of the human migrants out of the 200 million international migrants in 2005, arrived in the United Nations alone. These global migrants’ figures reflect significant differences in health and demographic determinants of the human migrants. There are millions of migrant workers population especially women in Asia. Such populations also comprise refugees and individuals displaced internally in search of safe and secure areas probably fleeing disaster and conflict. Emerging health risks and threats resulting from migration Human migration has been key to the spread and transmission of transmissible infectious diseases such as cholera and plague to the public globally.

Moreover, arrivals of migrants subjected to social, economies or legal exclusion can be very vulnerable to transmitting disease resulting from exploitive working conditions and poor living environments such as lack of access to health services. The effects of human migration on national health and disease epidemiology The effective and long-standing public health and disease control programs have been beneficial to the economically advantaged nations. The public health challenge in high-income nations for example in control of tuberculosis is related to human migration. In these countries, programs for detection and treatment for cervical, colon and breast malignancies, chronic diseases, management of anemia and endocrine disorders have led to the moderation of the effects of this illness in almost all nations. The human immigrants from less economic nations will impact on the epidemiology of disease in the low incidence recipient environments.

Sustainable development goals in reference to migrants • Explicit provision for human migrant access to primary services such as education, health, and social protection and other financial services. • Supporting, organizing and providing protection for migrants who have been evicted due to climatic change and land degradation. • Ensure all migrants children have enrolled in basic education in transit and destination countries. • Ensure all migrants have equitable access to training and employment both in their destination country as well as countries of their origin. • Passage of legislation to prohibit and eliminate all forms of refugee child labor. Testing and possible treatment measures of the migrants of these diseases should be done on the border country by the nurses. In addition, mitigation programs, as well as control strategies, must be part of the migration components for threat-to- risk determination and intervention planning.
