Abstract:

Thousands of Nepalese labour migrants have died abroad in past decades, and morbidity is also high. The high volume of data collected through pre-departure health screening, unfortunately, remains largely unused. Making better use of health data, including by trusted public health researchers, could help develop health interventions for migrant workers.
