Sri Lanka has established an inter-ministerial and inter-agency coordination framework for migration health and development comprised of a National Steering Committee on Migration Health (inter-ministerial), a National Migration Health Task Force (inter-agency and inter-ministerial) and a Migration Health Secretariat. The Secretariat coordinates the national migration health agenda housed within the Ministry of Health and supported by IOM. This work emphasizes the application of key GCM principles including international cooperation, whole of government and whole of society approaches, as well as people-centered, human rights-based and gender-responsive action to promote health of migrants.
