Sažetak

The health-related aspects of migration have been insufficiently studied hitherto and have been disregarded in immigration and emigration milieus alike. The group of small children of preschool age are especially at risk because they do not get enough organised care and regular health control. Nor do they receive enough attention from their mothers who generally work. Studies that have been sporadically conducted abroad up till now show that migrant children's health problems are numerous and the children fall prey to an illness more frequently and to a worse degree than their fellow peers. It is necessary to carry out organised research into migrant children's health condition wherever they are: abroad with their parents, returnees in their home country, or left behind at home by their migrant parents.
