The representative of the United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Refugees in Cairo, Pablo Matteo, praised the progress that Arab countries are witnessing in health care in general, despite the decline in middle or low-income countries and conflict areas.
These conflicts resulted in unprecedented flows of refugees and displacement, which affected reform efforts in all areas and sustainable development goals.
He added, during his speech at the launching ceremony of the Arab strategy on the availability of public health services in the context of asylum and displacement today, Tuesday at the headquarters of the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States in Cairo, that the movements of those seeking asylum have caused pressure on health care systems in the host countries, which led to the growth of fears and health problems that affected communities of refugees and displaced persons, especially the most vulnerable groups.
He stressed the keenness of the United Nations High Commissioner to enhance cooperation with the League of Arab States during the past six years to assist and protect refugees and displaced persons.
