In 2003 the kind of population called Human Mobile Population (HMP), which includes migrants, asylum seekers, refugees, migrant workers and travellers, was more than one billion.
Considering the dangerous health conditions of this population and after a quick overview of what is happening in nearby countries and everywhere else in the world, we can explain why in the next few years more and more people will flood Europe, North America, Australia and other developed countries and why we will have to be able to manage this phenomenon in terms of public health.
