Whether forced or not, there is no denying that migration causes different types of ailments not only for migrating people but also for the families, friends, and various personal connections they leave behind.

Nous allons donc poursuivre notre travail", a déclaré le co-président Roland Driece à quelques journalistes au siège de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé à Genève.
