Objective: The effects of migration processes on pediatric health outcomes have been evaluated by addressing issues of infectious diseases, psychological health disorders, nutritional deficiencies, child labor exploitation, and abuse; the current health conditions of Syrian refugee children living in Turkey have been examined. Method: A multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach has been adopted using secondary data analysis of national and international institutional reports and academic literature. Findings: Diseases such as respiratory tract infections and diarrhea are common among migrant children. Low vaccination rates contribute to the increase of these diseases. Nutritional problems and growth retardation are frequently observed. Additionally, mental health problems such as trauma and stress-related depression and anxiety are also prevalent. Social problems such as child labor and abuse further negatively affect their health.. Conclusion: To protect migrant children's health, accessible healthcare services should be provided, vaccination and nutrition programs should be supported, and psychological support must be offered. Moreover, social policies that safeguard children's rights should be developed and implemented.
