Health Canada. The Quarantine and Migration Health Program (QMHP) implements the Canadian Quarantine Act and Regulations, and the World Health Organization's (WHO) International Health Regulations. QMHP helps protect Canadians from the importation of dangerous and infectious diseases which might pose a threat to public health, through the international movements of persons, goods, and conveyances (air planes, trains, buses, automobiles, ships, boats, etc.). To safeguard the health of Canadians, QMHP coordinates Canada's response to outbreaks of international disease. QMHP can implement contingency plans and other emergency measures developed with public and private sector partners. 1, record 1, English, - Quarantine%20and%20Migration%20Health%20Program

Santé Canada. Le Programme de quarantaine et de santé des migrants (PQSM) applique la Loi et le Règlement sur la quarantaine du Canada et le Règlement sanitaire international de l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé. Il contribue à protéger les Canadiens contre des maladies dangereuses et infectieuses qui pourraient menacer la santé publique si elles étaient introduites au pays par le biais de déplacements internationaux de personnes, d'échanges commerciaux avec l'étranger et de véhicules de transport (avions, trains, autobus, automobiles, navires, bateaux, etc.). Afin de sauvegarder la santé des Canadiens, le PQSM coordonne les interventions du Canada lors de flambées de maladies internationales. Il peut mettre en œuvre des plans de secours et d'autres mesures d'urgence élaborés avec des partenaires des secteurs public et privé. 1, record 1, French, - Programme%20de%20quarantaine%20et%20de%20sant%C3%A9%20des%20migrants

La psychiatrie sociale n'a pas manqué de s'intéresser à l'étude des troubles mentaux liés à la migration, car cette situation réalise des conditions quasi expérimentales pour apprécier l'influence du milieu social sur la psychopathologie [...] La migration désigne les déplacements effectués volontairement par des personnes allant d'un pays dans un autre pour s'y établir. Se trouvent en principe éliminés les travailleurs saisonniers ne venant que pour une activité professionnelle temporaire, les personnes déplacées, qui sont contraintes à vivre en dehors de leur patrie et les simples voyageurs. Le mot transplantation est souvent employé comme synonyme, bien qu'un migrant ne soit pas forcément «déraciné». Enfin, la migration interne se rapporte à la mobilité géographique humaine à l'intérieur d'un même pays. 1, record 3, French, - psychopathologie%20de%20migration
