Background Migration is one of the structural forces shaping global health in the 21st century, yet few journals in the wider region offer a sustained editorial home for work at the intersection of human mobility and health systems. Purpose With this issue, the Georgian Medical Journal (GMJ) launches Health and Migration (GMH) — a permanent editorial section dedicated to evidence, policy analysis, and interdisciplinary dialogue on migration and health. Scope GMH will publish original research, systematic and scoping reviews, policy analyses, comparative country studies, methodological papers, and data-driven tools and indices. Priority areas include health entitlement and access, migration as a determinant of system performance, cross-border continuity of care, health-workforce mobility, humanitarian health, and digital health for mobile populations. Conclusion GMH is a long-term editorial commitment, not a single-issue feature. The current issue introduces two foundational contributions, establishing the conceptual and analytical foundation on which subsequent issues will build.
