Webinar: From evidence to practice - Successful modes for testing, linkage to care and retention in care for migrant populations
This webinar marks the publication of the ECDC Collection of
Models of Good Practices for Migrant Populations. It presents evidence on
successful approaches to improving testing, linkage to care and retention in
care for migrant populations in relation to HIV, tuberculosis, viral hepatitis
and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) across the EU/EEA. Participants will
gain practical insights into effectively addressing migrant needs in service
delivery models and the factors that support their implementation and scale-up.
