As it works to entrench rights protections, the Biden administration should seek to join, not supplant, this new collective effort.

Progress was made on policies favouring inclusion and integration into national systems3 with 92% of 48 operations surveyed reporting refugees having access to national primary health care facilities under the same conditions as nationals and 96% reporting refugees having access to all relevant vaccines under the same conditions as nationals.

Furthermore, more work is needed on strengthening these systems to be able to meet the needs of both host communities and refugees.
