The major thrust of the present article is to explore the gruesome sufferings of migrants with respect to detention and deportation, social stigma, income and livelihoods, lack of health services and digital divide by establishing the fact that an inclusive global migration governance supported with a prudent and forward-looking migration policy and a human rights dimension is the way forward to address the consequences of COVID-19. An inclusive approach to migrant health leaving no one behind during the COVID-19 pandemic deserves cynosure of attention to direct our public health efforts since there can be no public health without migrant health.
