International Journal of Public Health, 2014, vol. 59, issue 3, 547 pages

Abstract: Immigrants with chronic illnesses do not inevitably dilute the economic benefits of immigration or create excessive burden. Timely programs to promote integration can help ensure a favourable balance between economic contribution and social cost. Neglecting the health of new immigrants may eventuate in long-term disability. Copyright Swiss School of Public Health 2014
