Our expert workshop gathered insight and evidence to advise on the gaps in policy and research relating specifically to the health needs of IDPs, involving over 30 leading researchers in health research from fifteen countries. We also included policy makers from the United Nations, and humanitarian actors working with IDPs on the ground in conflict contexts. Among the findings, there is a strong focus on ensuring that the heterogeneity of IDPs is accounted for, disease burdens are fully understood, societal and behavioural trends are reflected, and crucially, on the need to adapt approaches to enable efficient and culturally appropriate healthcare access and delivery.
