This study reviews barriers of access to health care that persist in EU
countries and presents an analysis of what policies countries have
adopted to mitigate these barriers. It has a focus on the situation of
migrants, older people with functional limitations, and people with
mental disorders.
What are the barriers to accessing high quality health care for people
at risk of social exclusion? What are the interdependencies between
poverty, social exclusion and problems of accessing health care? What
policies have EU Member States put in place to improve access and
quality of health care for vulnerable groups of the population?
The study is based on eight country reports: Finland, Germany, Greece,
the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain, and the United Kingdom. This
was complemented with findings from the literature and European
comparisons.
