Abstract

Exponential growth of the world's population combined with increased travel has dramatically increased the spread of infectious diseases. Although there has been significant focus on migration, the major contributors to the transmission of communicable diseases are travel and tourism not migration. Given that children represent up to 10% of international travellers, it is critical to the health of all age groups to ensure that tailored guidance for children is considered in public health policy and guidelines, and pandemic responses. To further support pandemic preparedness, public health systems need to strengthen ties with communities and health systems. In addition, travel and migration issues need to be included as core competencies in medical education. Ensuring that clinicians who care for children have knowledge of travel and migration health will foster a better health outcome in an increasingly mobile population at risk of emerging infectious diseases.Abbreviations CDC: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; DGMQ: CDC Division of Global Migration and Quarantine; EID: emerging infectious diseases; EU: European Union; VFR: visiting friends and relatives; IOM: United Nations International Organization for Migration; LPR: lawful permanent resident; US: United States of America; WHO: World Health Organization.

全球流动、旅行和移徙健康:对儿童和家庭的临床和公共卫生影响。

世界人口的指数增长加上旅行的增加大大增加了传染病的传播。虽然移徙问题已成为重点，但造成传染病传播的主要因素是旅行和旅游，而不是移徙。鉴于儿童在国际旅行者中所占比例高达10%，确保在公共卫生政策和指南以及大流行应对措施中考虑为儿童提供量身定制的指导，对所有年龄组的健康都至关重要。为了进一步支持大流行防范，公共卫生系统需要加强与社区和卫生系统的联系。此外，旅行和移徙问题需要列入医学教育的核心能力。确保照顾儿童的临床医生掌握旅行和移徙健康知识，将在面临新发传染病风险的日益流动的人口中促进更好的健康结果。CDC:美国疾病控制与预防中心;疾控中心全球移徙和检疫司;EID:新发传染病;EU:欧洲联盟;VFR:探亲访友;联合国国际移徙组织;LPR:合法永久居民;US:美利坚合众国;卫生组织:世界卫生组织。

期刊介绍： Paediatrics and International Child Health is an international forum for all aspects of paediatrics and child health in developing and low-income countries. The international, peer-reviewed papers cover a wide range of diseases in childhood and examine the social and cultural settings in which they occur. Although the main aim is to enable authors in developing and low-income countries to publish internationally, it also accepts relevant papers from industrialised countries. The journal is a key publication for all with an interest in paediatric health in low-resource settings.
