Descripción del proyecto
Investigación sobre cómo los migrantes en situación irregular acceden a la atención primaria
El proyecto HEAVEN, financiado con fondos europeos, utilizará el ejemplo de la migración venezolana a Colombia para estudiar cómo los migrantes en situación regular e irregular pueden disfrutar de su derecho a la atención primaria. Se utilizará la investigación interdisciplinar y la recopilación de datos empíricos para movilizar sinergias entre los derechos humanos y los estándares en materia de salud pública, y para comprender cómo los agentes estatales y no estatales aplican obligaciones jurídicas respecto al derecho de los migrantes a una sanidad que cumpla con un enfoque de la atención primaria. Los resultados de HEAVEN, que incluyen una colaboración entre la Universidad de la Reina de Belfast (el Reino Unido) y la Universidad del Rosario (Colombia), contribuirán a la creación de nuevos conocimientos y al diálogo intersectorial sobre la atención primaria como una cuestión de derechos humanos en el contexto del complejo fenómeno migratorio.
Objetivo
HEAVEN’s key objective is to conceptualize the right to primary health care (PHC) for irregular migrants—a right that is relevant to law and policy at different levels of governance. To do this, HEAVEN uses Venezuelan migration in Colombia as a case study, applying sociolegal tools to expand human rights law methodologies and catalyse the synergies between human rights and public health standards to promote healthier communities. It will focus in particular on creating new knowledge on state and non-state actors’ complementary roles in implementing legal obligations regarding the right to health of vulnerable migrants that are consistent with a PHC approach. In order to generate this global challenge-responsive knowledge, the researcher will—for the first time—deploy his full skillset, which spans legal practice, NGO volunteer work, and academic research and communication skills. In combination, he will expand that skillset through HEAVEN’s affiliation with two leading human rights law schools in two different world regions: Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) and Universidad del Rosario (UR). His home at QUB will be the Health & Human Rights Unit, the first such unit in a top 20 UK law school; at UR, he will be integrated into the law school’s Human Rights Research Group, which is a centre of excellence for research on gender and migration certified by the Colombian Ministry of Science and Innovation. Both groups and the broader hosting environments will support the researcher’s skills acquisition and training plan, and provide pathways for the project’s impact and diverse outputs. In line with the goal of IFs, HEAVEN will facilitate the researcher’s international mobility, enabling him to develop new networks for skills development, establish himself on a fast track to a leadership position spanning scholarly and policy communities, and contribute to the challenge of managing mass migration in a way that secures public health and respects human rights.
