Short
information about the us.
International
Health and Social group (Network IHSG), which was established in 1994, is
one of the very few organizations in this country who are concerned wit the
health and social problems of the immigrant population.
Prevention
and transfer of knowledge to immigrants and cooperation with Norwegian
authorities is the most important tasks of the network. We are also advisor

The
main objective is to meet the development of the society and build
confidence and security in the group we want to help.
We
have carried out many projects with this as a focus and have sponsored many
seminars about different topics within this field.
IHSGs
role is as a mediator as we are able to contribute with development work
with language, culture and religious knowledge as important prerequisites
for establishing confidence and security in the groups we are aiming at.
IHSG has several volunteers attached as resource persons within the health-
