During this phase, persons who may be resettled undergo a mandatory health assessment. Its aim is to:
- detect medical conditions which may affect public health and public safety, other medical conditions that require follow-up after arrival,
- transmit medical information in a timely manner to the receiving party to enable proper preparations for reception and continuity of care,
- determine fitness to travel and identify travel requirements, and
- initiate the follow-up and treatment, including predeparture stabilisation treatment, if necessary.
This health assessment is performed by IOM. Main tests include:
- TB screening consisting of chest X-rays,
- Tests and examinations for HIV and hepatitis B and C and syphilis,
- Pre-embarkation checks to establish the person is fit to fly,
- Procedures to detect mental health conditions.
