Rural–urban drift: labour migration, health-seeking behaviour disparity in the urban slum of Madina, Ghana

What is it about?

Many if not all the studies on health-seeking behaviour have focused on urban slums without taking into account urban migrants’ slum settings. Such a failure to take into account the variations of the health needs of migrants’ urban slum settings can eventually lead to a mismatch of health programmes meant to address their challenges. We show for the first time contextual issues that can inform decisions in designing health programmes for such settings.
