This stream of work of the SH-CAPAC project aligns with the recommendations of The Global Consultation on Migrant Health, convened by the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Organization of Migration (IOM) and the Government of Spain in 2010 in Madrid, Spain. One of the four priority areas for action defined there was the need to build capacity to develop migrant-friendly health services. The development of health workers’ competences to better serve migrants and ethnic minorities is an essential component of building such capacity.
