Resumo em Inglês
In the medical humanitarian context, the challenging task of collecting health information
from people on the move constitutes a key element to identifying critical health care needs
and gaps. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), during its long history of working with migrants,
refugees and mobile populations in different contexts, has acknowledged how crucial it is to
generate detailed context-related data on migrant and refugee populations in order to adapt
the response interventions to their needs and circumstances. In 2019, the Brazilian Medical
Unit/MSF developed the Migration History Tool (MHT), an application based on the life history
method which was created in close dialogue with field teams in order to respond to
information needs emerging from medical operations in mobile populations. The tool was
piloted in two different contexts: firstly, among mobile populations transiting and living in
Beitbridge and Musina, at the Zimbabwe-South Africa border; and, secondly, among
Venezuelan migrants and refugees in Colombia. This article describes the implementation
of this innovative method for collecting quantitative retrospective data on mobility and
health in the context of two humanitarian interventions. The results have proven the
flexibility of the methodology, which generated detailed information on mobility trajectories
and on the temporalities of migration in two different contexts. It also revealed how health
outcomes are not only associated with the spatial dimensions of movement, but also with the
temporalities of mobility trajectories.
