"Access to health care for undocumented migrants and asylum seekers in 10 EU countries. Law and practice" (The HUMA report)

This first report of the HUMA network, “Access to health care for undocumented migrants and asylum seekers in 10 EU countries. Law and practice”, seeks to provide an updated overview of the different systems regulating access to health care for undocumented migrants and asylum seekers in ten Member States (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK) and shows the existing discriminations in regards to legal entitlements.

This research has corroborated that the right to health is guaranteed neither for undocumented migrants nor for asylum seekers in the EU. In none of those countries undocumented migrants can access “the highest attainable level of physical and mental care,” as it is recognised by the main international human rights instruments.

The document can be accessed in two versions here.
