Early return of Sri Lankan migrants in the Middle East.

The author examines early return migration patterns of labor migrants from Sri Lanka in the Middle East. "Attention [is given] to the reasons why a considerable number of migrants return to their country of origin prematurely.... Differentials in the duration of stay in the host country, as well as some of the consequences of early return migration for the migrant and his family [are discussed].... The data used for this article are based primarily on a random survey held among 899 return migrants, 858 family members of current migrants and 409 non-migrants...[for] the period December 1985 to July 1986."

[Leprosy services following elimination in WPRO and SEARO regions].

The elimination of leprosy with the advent of multidrug therapy (MDT) is one of the success stories in public health. Elimination will be achieved in the regions of Western pacific and South-East Asia in near future. A biregional consultation between the WHO South-East Asia and Western Pacific regions was held in the end of 2004 in Manila, the Philippines. A strategy document was developed during the consultation, to sustain quality leprosy services in Asia and the Pacific beyond 2005, and to further reduce the leprosy burden. The main strategy involves timely detection of new cases, multidrug treatment, and the key element of integration of leprosy services into general health services.

Health status, health problems and practices among refugees from the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia.

Recent refugees from Poland, Romania, Iraq, and Vietnam were extensively interviewed to assess their health, health care utilization, and health services use barriers. 277 recent arrivals from these countries and 63 previously arrived Laotians comprised the 1983-1985 sample from the Detroit metropolitan area. Results from a 195-item bilingual questionnaire indicated good overall health and little evidence of serious physical health symptoms. Dental health was the area of greatest reported need. Prenatal care and mental health services were additional areas of need noted by researchers. Barriers to health service utilization were primarily language related. There were major differences in both health problems and health service utilization among the 4 groups surveyed.
