System for monitoring the health status and health care of the migrant population of the INMP
The National Institute for the Health Promotion of Migrant Populations and the Fight against Poverty-related Diseases (INMP, Istituto Nazionale per la promozione della salute delle popolazioni migranti ed il contrasto delle malattie della Povertà) has the mission to monitor the impact of migration and poverty on health and related prevention and health care interventions, including through the participation of interregional projects.
The INMP has initiated the activities of the National Epidemiological Observatory for Health Equity (OENES, Osservatorio epidemiologico nazionale per l’Equità nella Salute), formerly OENIP.
Within the framework of the aforementioned OENES, the project Monitoring Immigrant Health Indicators was developed as one of the priority lines of activity..
Identify and support health promotion policies in favor of the most fragile people; detect health inequalities and identify best practices for combating them and support regions in their implementation.
The Monitoring Immigrant Health Indicators project consists of calculating indicators related to population, hospitalization, maternal and child health, hospital care, territorial care, and emergency room access at the regional level, comparing the resident foreign population with that of the Italian population.
