We have published our May Policy Brief written Manfred Huber and
Anderson E. Stanciole on the research findings of the of the project
HealthQUEST:
"Access to Health Care for Migrants, Ethnic Minorities, and Asylum
Seekers in Europe"
Abstract:
Poverty and social exclusion continue to be serious challenges across
the European Union and for health systems in Member States. Migrants,
asylum seekers and illegal immigrants are at high risk of poverty and
social exclusion and there is evidence that they sometimes do not
receive the care that best responds to their needs. Improved access to
general health care, including also health promotion and prevention
strategies, is therefore essential to minimising disadvantage for
migrants. This Policy Brief outlines hurdles of access to health care
for migrants and discusses policy implications.
