Doctors of the World has launched a co-production project to ensure migrants have a greater influence over healthcare policy and practice. Migrants with lived experience of health exclusion know the best impact of the policies and services and their voice and insights should be at the centre of changing public perspectives among the general public, achieving well-informed decisions and inclusive services, driving a sustainable, systemic, policy change in healthcare.

The project is launched with the strategic aim of Doctors of the World to “strengthen our movement with greater numbers of healthcare professionals, activists and service users who together support and set the direction of the organization”. In line with this objective, our approach will be to “work hand-in-hand with those benefiting from our services, advocacy or activism.”

National Health Advisors work as an equal partner in the project, putting their voices, views and insights at the centre of services, policy influencing and strategic engagement work, media or campaigns.
