The "Health and Migrations in the EU" conference will be held in Lisbon on 27and 28 September 2007 under the auspices of the Portuguese presidency. It will bring together health ministers from across the European Union, each of whom will be presented with a set of 25 “best practices” in the field of migration and health care. Featured among them will be the European study performed by Médecins du Monde on access to health care for undocumented migrants.
