Özet: Today there are approximately 250 million international and 763 million national immigrants all over the world. Outward migrations to Turkey are mostly from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. The status of Syrians in Turkey is formed as temporary protection who do not have refugee request., The number of Syrians in our country is 3,22 million by the date of October 2017 and the number of refugees and asylum seekers from non-Syrian countries is 315,643 by the date of June 2017. Migrant groups carry their own health problems which do not exist before on the places they migrated. The substructure and potential of the migrated country may not be enough to solve the problems of immigrants. In addition, the lack health insurance, language disability and low socioeconomic level make these people unable to benefit from health care services. It is very important to provide preventive health services to migrants. The records of the population should be kept on regular basis, problems of population at risk should be identified. Immunization, maternal and child health should be considered. Environmental health must be improved, clean food and water must be provided, suitable environment of accommodation must be provided to prevent new diseases
