The study assessed the impacts of cross-border migration on health security in India in Nigeria. One specific research objective was formulated to guide the study. The research design was an Expost-Facto research design. The population of the study comprised of all the custom officers and the residents in India. 376 respondents were randomly selected for the study, using simple random sampling technique. The instrument known as “Cross Border Migration and Health Security Questionnaire (CBMHSQ)” was used to collect data from the respondents. The test produced high average reliability coefficient of 0.79 which helped justify the use of the instrument. The findings from the data collection and analysis showed significant impact of cross-border migration on health security in India. Among others, it was recommended that migrants should have complete official authorizations to travel, enter, or reside in a host country as lack of such legal documents may cause rejection in the host country.
