Panel Text:

 Nomadic people are members of communities who move from one place to another, rather

than settling in one location. They are listed in the categories of economic specialization as

hunter-gatherers, pastoral nomads and peripatetic nomads. There are an estimated 30 – 40

million nomads in the world.

 Nomadic people worldwide inhabit unsuitable infrastructural development. They experience

 poorer health than do majority groups. They make optimal use of unhygienic food and water

available nearer with often disastrous consequences for their health. As per research findings

the infant mortality is higher among nomadic than the neighboring populations. They are

marginalized and subject to discrimination. Health initiatives and interventions at national

levels neglect nomadic population because of their geographic isolation. Existing health care

systems are in the hands of settled populations and rarely have access to nomads.

They lag behind settled people in education, access to public services and thus lacking

 political empowerment. They have to contend with globalization, industrialization, climate

change, the allure of modern technology, disease and changed diets, and alcoholism.

Disputed conceptual understandings of nomads, a history of discriminatory colonial and

 postcolonial policies, and non-recognition of these groups by some governments complicate

the situation.

This panel will create world knowledge platform to collect nomadic people’s health data at

the global level, focus their wellbeing, and address various determinants affecting their health

and health priorities for global action.

the above said topic or relevant themes. All submission should be made on the official website of
