INTRODUCTION : Evolving landscapes and trade opportunities encourage population migration, and addressing their
health care becomes crucial. Migration to a place disconnected from the health system poses significant health risks,
including exposure to infectious diseases, inadequate healthcare access, mental health impacts of displacement, apart from
the inappropriate medical care and emergence of quackery during health care needs. Integrated health systems that keep
updated with the recent population trends and cater to the unique needs of migrants and transient populations is essential
to achieve the goal of ‘Universal Health Coverage’. This article explores the background of one such instance in Tamil Nadu,
in which tourism opportunities coupled with technological advancements, relocated people back to an abandoned town,
thereby creating a demand for their basic necessities in the abandoned place.
