A large number of migrant workers in Jordan have limited access to essential medical care, as well as to affordable primary health care (PHC) services, due to a combination of factors. The objective of the project is to contribute to the Government of Jordan's efforts in achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), focusing on international migrants. The project will support the Government of Jordan in working towards the implementation of evidence-based, sustainable and gender-sensitive initiatives and policies to improve migrants' access to health services (Outcome 1) by undertaking an assessment of gaps and opportunities to improve migrants' inclusion in the Ministry of Health's Initiative on UHC (Output 1.1.), and, conducting knowledge exchange efforts with countries that have implemented inclusive UHC initiatives (Output 1.2). The project will also promote migrant communities’ improved health literacy and increased access to healthcare services (Outcome 2) by training health care providers and national authorities to address migrant and gender-specific health needs (Output 2.1), and by conducting an outreach campaign with translated resources (Output 2.2).
