Objectives:

To explore and document how health systems in the Americas have responded to the inclusion of migrants, asylum seekers/refugees and other displaced populations in their COVID-19 responses, specifically by assessing the challenges encountered by both the public, private and humanitarian components of their health systems.
2. To assess whether the short, medium and long-term policies and strategies adopted in the Americas to cope with the evolving needs of health systems during the COVID-19 pandemic have enhanced the responsiveness of and accessibility to the health system for people on the move. 
3. To offer specific recommendations for health policy and humanitarian response that are informed by the findings.
4. To share and promote discussion with policymakers, humanitarian actors and academics throughout the region.
