The scale and rapidity of these migrations, whether sudden (fast-onset disasters) or gradual (slow-onset environmental changes), directly challenge the adaptability and capacity of already resource-constrained health systems to meet both immediate and long-term needs of migrant and host populations. --- Impacts of Climate-Induced Migration on Public Health Systems 1.
