Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss health system responsiveness to the mental health needs of forcibly displaced persons. First, we discuss health system responsiveness as key health system characteristic, and introduce a conceptual framework guiding its assessment. We then present the use of a rapid appraisal methodology upon which the conceptual framework is based. Finally, we present findings of a case-study on mental health care among Syrian refugees residing in the Netherlands employing this methodology.
