Evidence collected by the WHO suggests migrants and refugees are less likely to be affected by non-contagious diseases such as cancer, stroke or heart disease, but their risk of developing such illnesses increases when they move to more developed countries, particularly as they are often living in poor conditions.
While refugees and migrants are more vulnerable to infectious diseases when in transit from their home countries, the proportion with tuberculosis or HIV varies widely. WHO Europe said: “Despite the widespread assumption to the contrary, there is only a very low risk of refugees and migrants transmitting communicable diseases to their host population.”
The report implicitly criticises the UK and other nations that charge some migrants and refugees for healthcare by suggesting the best way to protect the health of those in host nations and new arrivals is to provide universal, free healthcare.
…
Rules brought in in 2015 and 2017 under the “hostile environment” immigration policy specify when overseas visitors should be charged for receiving NHS care.
Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, the WHO regional director for Europe, said: “As migrants and refugees become more vulnerable than the host population to the risk of developing both noncommunicable and communicable diseases, it is necessary that they receive timely access to quality health services."

WHO. Consider the source. It is, IMO, a political organization. And not one that has the best interests of the US at heart.
Oy.
FU get the F@ck out of our country
These illegals don’t get the high rates of cancer, heart disease, stroke, etc. in their home societies because they die younger there from diseases the civilized world has mostly eradicated!
Then don’t be a migrant. DUH!
Now I have heard it all, we are going to make the illegals unhealthy.
In order to protect themselves from us all they sure need to go back where they came from ASAP.
The WHO just said we can’t let 3rd worlders move into our country because it’ll kill them with cancer!!!!
Good to know.
Lets get congress to make a law protecting those innocent 3rd worlders from our evil culture and lifestyle!

Fine, we agree, stay where you are! You won’t have to suffer with our diseases, and we won’t have to suffer with yours.
One more reason for the illegal aliens to remain in their own countries.
I honestly don’t think I’ve heard of a problem with a simpler solution than this one. It’s so simple I don’t even have to post it.
Uh, that would be, like, uh, go back to their $hit hole countries?
WHO is not suggesting that migrants do not come- they are suggesting American die by whatever means so migrants do not have to
UN
Maybe we should amplify this message and broadcast to all the sh*tholes around the world.
It’s not safe to come here. Beside being racist, and xenophobic it’s also very bad for your health. STAY HOME.
They should stay in their own country.
What abput the increased health risks to the regular citizens from these diseased people they are letting in?
Good grief.
We’ll have to protect the world from our leper colony and quarantine ourselves with a wall. Huge and safe.
