6. Book chapter 'Moving target, moving parts: the multiple mobilities of the COVID-19 pandemic'
Using #mobilities prism we highlight the vulnerabilities of static, bounded health systems in a world where everything else is in movement

📝 Educator, poet and writer Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan's specially-commissioned poem features in the Doctors Within Borders initiative run by Lancaster Uni and @UofGlasgow
@thebrownhijabi @FollisLuca @in_gloves @NickyBurns73
Suhaiymah Manzoor-Kahn @thebrownhijabi has just performed the first reading of a specially commissioned poem @ #DwBW3, based on discussions @ #DwBW2 of healthcare for mobile & marginalised populations
The vocabulary of neglect

Thank you Suhaiymah @thebrownhijabi Your poem is a lasting record of these conversations and we will be returning to it for a long time to come!
It was a pleasure to write and perform this poem for @doctors_borders after attending their workshop discussing evidence from across the world about the ways that borders uphold and create devastating health problems. A hostile environment can never create an ecosystem of care.

Creative collaborations rock! @JackBrougham was there too and we could not have been more thrilled with his visual take on our discussions!
And that's the end of #DwBW3! Thank you to everyone who participated and attended today's workshop - we've had a fantastic day full of inspiring discussions
Key conclusions from @SajidaZAlly: important to also consider the borders preventing migrants returning home e.g. #COVID19 restrictions and who is putting these borders in place #DwBW3
In Kuwait, 'migrants negotiate care amid a transforming and segregating healthcare system that has exacerbated vulnerability and disadvantage' @SajidaZAlly considers the 'blurred boundary' of healthcare for migrants #DwBW3
.@SajidaZAlly is giving our final presentation for this panel: 'Medical assessment and segregating healthcare as bordering tools: Nuancing
biosecurity among Sri Lankan migrants in Kuwait' #DwBW3
Up next Marta Pérez - 'Resisting institutionalized exclusion: the case of Madrid’s “processing offices”' #DwBW3

Marta discusses universal healthcare law in Spain, which recognises the right of undocumented migrants to regular public healthcare. However, the regional approach leaves a gap which results in exclusions & restrictive application of the law in Madrid #DwBW3
Very excited to be able to share the amazing graphic @JackBrougham created during our roundtable this morning, capturing reflections on #healthcare, #borders & #mobility. Thank you Jack - it's brilliant! #DwBW3
