While the need to address migration and health is increasingly recognized at the global level, concerns are raised about if this will be reflected in the final Compacts. The Compacts focus on securitization, an approach that aims to restrict the movement of people, presenting potentially negative health consequences for people who move. Globally, concern is raised that migration-aware public health programming initiatives could be co-opted through a global health security agenda to further restrict movement across borders. This is particularly worrying in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) - a regional economic community associated with high levels of migration and the largest population of people living with HIV globally; this case is used to explore concerns about the health implications of the Global Compacts. Current HIV responses in SADC do not adequately engage with the movement ...Continue Reading
