“…Some WIMs travel in small boats with babies who are not theirs [10]. Identifying these practices requires time, protocols and specific care [20,40]. According to Hendow [41], appropriate mechanisms need to be put into place to ensure proper identification of migrants, in particular, groups at risk.…”

Background: this study aimed to describe and understand the experiences and health needs of women irregular migrants during emergency care provision upon arrival in Spain by small boat. Methods: a qualitative study based on Gadamer’s phenomenology was used. The data collection included 13 in-depth interviews with women irregular migrants and 10 in-depth interviews with key informants. The study took place in the Spanish Red Cross’ facilities between February 2017 and April 2018. Results: two main themes emerged from the data analysis: the need for emergency care focused on women irregular migrants with the sub-themes ‘Women irregular migrants as objects of sexual exploitation’ and ‘The mother-child dyad as the axis in human trafficking’; and developing an emergency care gender policy for women irregular migrants, with the subthemes ‘Healthcare in a police-controlled setting: detecting weaknesses’ and ‘Promoting screening and safety protocols focused on women irregular migrants’. Conclusions: women irregular migrants who arrive in Spain by small boat have specific needs and healthcare problems. Due to strict safety conditions during emergency care provision, rape and human trafficking can go unnoticed. Implications: interdisciplinary care protocols and new health policies that have a gender perspective are needed to improve the emergency care provided to women irregular migrants.

“…Delimitations are the limitations imposed by authors (Theofanidis & Fountouki, 2018). I created the delimitations of the research study to focus on a specific group of subject matter experts that could provide insights into the reasons projects fail at a high rate with the usage of the prediction tool EVM.…”

This research proposed analyzing projects from a risk uncertainty perspective by using EVM to predict the systemic (Epistemic Risk) and provisioning (Aleatory risk) uncertainties to achieve project success. The results of the study synthesized empirical findings with theories and concepts. To bridge the gap, this research study focuses on minimizing or alleviating epistemic and aleatory risk uncertainties. The research method included a qualitative exploratory study with thematic analysis. The participants for the study were project managers with a PMP certification and EVM knowledge who worked on government contract requirements and members of the local chapter of the Project Management Institute.

“…This includes various NGOs, other social groups, and many individuals [116]. International organizations include the United High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the International Organization of Migration (IOM), and large international NGOs such as MSF, Médecins du Monde (MDM), and Save the Children, as well as many local ad hoc grassroots organizations, which quickly deployed staff and services to meet the needs of the refugees [117].…”

“…Since recently, medical services were provided mainly by a general practitioner and a nurse. Nursing, which is offered by NGOs and international establishments such as the Red Cross, provides basic services ranging from primary care to health promotion in the shelter camp [116]. Gynecologists (preferably female), midwives, dentists, psychologists, and psychiatrists were lately included in the camp clinics [17].…”

Greece is the country of “Xenios Zeus”, the Ancient Greek god of foreigners and hospitality; however, it is also the main point of entry to Europe. Since the beginning of 2014, 1,112,332 refugees crossed the borders of Greece. Overall, 33,677 children and adolescent refugees sought asylum in Greece from 2013 to 2017, while 57,042 refugees are currently being hosted. The rapid entry of refugees into Greece raised the critical issue of health policy. The Greek National Health Service (NHS) faces many challenges. Adequate economic and human support is essential if this situation is to be managed successfully. However, Greece still bears the burden of the economic downturn since 2009. In fact, the crisis led to shortages in crucial equipment, and unmet health needs for both locals and refugees. The NHS deals with traumatic experiences, as well as cultural and linguistic differences. Overcrowded reception centers and hotspots are highly demanding and are associated with severe disease burden. This highlights the importance of guidelines for medical screening, healthcare provision, and a well-managed transition to definitive medical facilities. Furthermore, non-governmental organizations make an essential contribution by ensuring appropriate support to refugee minors, especially when they experience poor access to the NHS.
