Maylis Douine

The Honduran diaspora has become a driving force in addressing the pressing issue of infectious diseases in Honduras and beyond. With a strong sense of community and deep commitment to improving healthcare, diaspora members have become catalysts for change, advocating for effective strategies and driving initiatives to combat these diseases. This article examines the significant role played by the Honduran diaspora in tackling infectious diseases and emphasizes the urgent need for collaboration and action. Through advocacy, fundraising, knowledge exchange, and community engagement, the diaspora has raised awareness, mobilized resources, shared expertise, and empowered communities. However, sustained commitment, collaboration, and increased support from governments and stakeholders are essential to achieving long-term change. Recognizing the valuable contributions of the Honduran diaspora is not only an investment in the well-being of the population but also a testament to the power of diaspora communities in effecting positive change. The major infectious diseases affecting both migrants and the health services in non-endemic countries that care for these migrants are discussed.
