Turkey has historically been a country of
origin, transit and destination for migrants. Following the first entry to
Turkey in 2011, the Syrian "influx" arrived in unexpected masses and
individually. In June of 2019, Turkey
continues to host 3,613,644 registered Syrians under temporary protection, of
which 546,296 reside in Istanbul. Turkey is the country with the world’s
largest population and Istanbul is the city with the highest numbers of
Syrians. During a time of unprecedented international migration and unparalleled
human suffering, health care administrators of Istanbul as torchbearers,
present experiences which will help lead the future of international migration.
In this manuscript-effort they present lessons-learned for the world to benefit
from. The transformation from “emigration” to “immigration” may transform the
host country's demographic structure, from the standpoint that “emigration” defines
departing from one’s natural home; whereas, “immigration” implies permanent residence. Authors draw attention to policy considerations for
integration. The major concern that “universal responsibility should spread
more evenly across countries in times of global humanitarian need” is
emphasized.
