This contribution introduces some general ideas on the nexus between (forced) migration and health in heterogeneous modern societies. It does so by first providing UNHCR data to set out a framework for the continued and even increased relevance of refugee issues in both Africa and Europe, by giving a definition of health as a human right, and by then focusing on the connection and reciprocal effects of health and (forced) migratory processes. Finally, and most importantly, an outlook on the papers featured in the edited volume and their contents is given.
