| Sumario: | This Report, the fourth in the Global Evidence Review on Health and Migration (GEHM) series, synthesizes the available evidence across four themes related to antibiotic access and use: (i) access, (ii) appropriate use, (iii) barriers to access and use, and (iv) interventions to improve access and use. It provides policy considerations for equitable access and appropriate use of antibiotics among refugee and migrant populations. A scoping review found scarce evidence on access and use of antibiotics by refugees and migrants and that existing research largely focuses on migrants residing in high-income contexts; therefore, generalizability of the findings is limited. However, the available evidence suggests that access to and use of antibiotics by refugee and migrant populations is heterogeneous and is significantly influenced by the health systems of the host countries, as well as by non-health policies and factors.
