Zusammenfassung: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.
