Event Description:

The Trump Administration's new 'remain in Mexico' policy is causing an
influx of migrants waiting on the Mexican side of the border. By the
time they reach the border, many migrants are traumatized, have
untreated chronic diseases and are in need of medical treatment. In
response to this dynamic situation, The Harvard Global Health
Institute, The Woodrow Wilson Center, Boston College School of Social
Work, The David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, and
Harvard University Mexican Association of Students, will convene key
policymakers, experts and frontline workers to discuss the current
conditions on the border, extrapolate applicable lessons learned from
other crises, and identify approaches to ensuring basic health
coverage for this vulnerable population.
