When people are forced to flee their homes – due to armed conflict, persecution, or human rights violations – continuity of care for those living with chronic illnesses becomes a critical concern. Yet, across the full migratory journey – from displacement and transit, through resettlement, and into possible onward movement such as return or circular migration – access to consistent, appropriate healthcare is often disrupted or fragmented.Responding to the WHO’s global research agenda on health, migration, and displacement, this edited volume brings together international research spanning diverse geographical settings, chronic conditions, population groups, and methodological approaches. It offers evidence and insights from across the entire continuum of mobility, identifying different types of work or strategies that are central to the evolving needs of forcibly displaced people living with chronic diseases.

“This timely collection presents diligently researched empirical studies of displaced peoples with focus on Uganda, Denmark and Georgia. The volume tells a story of interconnections between our common needs for survival and the social conditions required to live, highlighting three requisite dimensions that structure opportunities for care continuity: patients’ agency, our relations with each other in community, and programmes organised to deliver patient-centred care.” Jill Marshall, Royal Holloway University of London
