The International Centre for Migration and Health is a Swiss-based non-profit institution that was established in 1995. Its mandate is to work on research, training and policy advocacy in all areas related to migration and health

ICMH believes the right to health applies to all people, including migrants, refugees, and all other people who find themselves on the move for political, economic or environmental reasons

ICMH's work is predicated on the belief that by protecting the health and welfare of people on the move, the public health, social development, and human security of the larger society is also enhanced

ICMH brings to the challenge of migration and health a broad body of multi-disciplinary experience in public health, medicine, social sciences, law, medical geography, health economics and political science

ICMH works with a wide range of donors and institutions from the public and private sectors, and seeks to show how all partners and stakeholders can and should come together around the health and welfare concerns raised by forced and voluntary migration
