The flow of migrants and refugees from Venezuela constitutes the largest mobilization of people in the history of Latin America. By March 2020, more than 4.9 million Venezuelans have left their country and from these, more than 4.1 million have been mobilized to count...ries in Latin America and the Caribbean. The motives for this mobilization are diverse, but those related to health care issues stand out, among which is the condition of living with HIV/AIDS. In the situation of demand for medical care that COVID-19 has generated, it is much more difficult to receive attention for people who are not included in the health systems of countries that are recipient due to the limitations that their migratory status may impose.

El flujo de migrantes y refugiados desde Venezuela constituye la mayor movilización de personas en la historia de Latinoamérica.

Las motivaciones de esta movilización son diversas, pero destacan aquellas vinculadas a temas de atención en salud, entre las cuales se encuentra la condición de vivir con VIH/sida.

Human rights must be at the centre of all prevention, preparedness, containment and treatment efforts from the start, in order to best protect public health and support the groups and people who are most at risk. States have an obligation to protect and guarantee everyone the right to the highest at...tainable standard of health.
All European states have committed to fulfilling the right to health and have signed international and regional human rights treaties to that purpose. In the context of the current pandemic, authorities should engage all available resources to counter the pandemic while fulfilling the right to health.

COVID-19 est une crise sans précédents. L’impact sur les filles et les garçons que nous soutenons est potentiellement dévastateur, car ceux qui protègen...t et s’occupent des enfants succombent à la maladie et les services essentiels sont interrompus.
