: One billion people around the world are currently leaving their homes by choice or force, the World Health Organisation said in its first-ever global research agenda published on Monday.

“There are one billion people currently leaving their homes by choice or force due to various factors such as wars, conflicts, income inequalities, economic shifts, urbanisation and climate change,“ it said, underlining the need to develop evidence-based policies that ensure “no one is left behind.” It added that such a gap in knowledge impacts people’s well-being and slows down global progress towards universal health coverage and Sustainable Development Goals.

Those themes include ways to scale up access to services and achieve inclusive universal health coverage, actions to make health emergency preparedness more responsive, a better understanding of the determinants of health and ways to address them, more visibility for under-researched groups of migrants and forcibly displaced populations, and new ways to collaborate in research and translate research into policy and practice, according to the report.
