Beyond the ‘Migrant Network’? Exploring assistance received in the migration of brazilians to Portugal and the Netherlands
This paper explores the tenability of three important critiques to the ‘migrant
network’ approach in migration studies: (1) the narrow focus on kin and community
members, which connect prospective migrants in origin countries with immigrants in
the destination areas, failing to take due account of sources of assistance beyond the
‘migrant network’ like institutional or online sources; (2) that it is misleading to assume
a general pattern in the role of migrant networks in migration, regardless of contexts of
arrival or departure, including the scale and history of migration or the immigration
regime; and (3) that ‘migrant networks’ are not equally relevant to all migrants, and that
important differences may exist between labour migrants and other types of migrants
like family migrants or students. Drawing on survey data on the migration of Brazilians
to Portugal and the Netherlands we find support for these critiques but also reaffirm the
relevance of ‘migrant networks’.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

2 nd Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease, 2015
Abstract Chagas disease is a neglected chronic condition with a high burden of morbidity and mortality. It has considerable psychological, social, and economic impacts. The disease represents a significant public health issue in Brazil, with different regional patterns. This document presents the evidence that resulted in the Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease. The objective was to review and standardize strategies for diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control of Chagas disease in the country, based on the available scientific evidence. The consensus is based on the articulation and strategic contribution of renowned Brazilian experts with knowledge and experience on various aspects of the disease. It is the result of a close collaboration between the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine and the Ministry of Health. It is hoped that this document will strengthen the development of integrated actions against Chagas disease in the country, focusing on epidemiology, management, comprehensive care (including families and communities), communication, information, education, and research

Discutir saúde e imigração no contexto atual de intensa mobilidade humana
Este artigo aborda as relações entre imigração e saúde no Brasil, partindo de uma abordagem histórica que busca contextualizar o debate no país desde o século XIX até os dias atuais. A problematização dessas relações destaca os desafios das políticas sociais de acolhimento e integração dos imigrantes no mundo globalizado. Por meio da revisão bibliográfica sobre imigração e saúde no contexto brasileiro e internacional, buscamos prioridades que se impõem à saúde coletiva em face da intensa mobilidade humana atual. As desigualdades socioeconômicas marcam a experiência de parte dos imigrantes, expondo estas populações a uma maior vulnerabilidade, adoecimento e menor qualidade de vida. Apontamos a necessária promoção da equidade de acesso à saúde, prevenção contra a discriminação, ampliação das políticas públicas, formação dos profissionais e oferta de serviços adaptados, abordando a temática das migrações como determinante social de saúde
