An innovative new collaboration between University of Limerick and the Department of Health will involve refugees and migrants directly in the development of public health policy.

The Refugee and Migrant Health Partnership is funded by the Department of Health and is designed to involve refugees and migrants directly in the development of public health policy and will also fund bursaries for related teaching programmes and scholarships.
