Abstract:

“This study on Access to Healthcare for Undocumented Migrants in Switzerland was conducted in close collaboration with the EU-funded project Health Care in NowHereLand – Improving Services for Undocumented Migrants in the EU coordinated by the Danube University Krems in Austria. The study was commissioned by the Swiss Federal Office for Public Health (FOPH) to the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD). In the framework of this study, the ICMPD, together with the Swiss Forum for Migration and Population Studies (SFM) at the University of Neuchâtel and the Trummer & Novak-Zezula OG in Vienna, collected information on policies towards undocumented migrants, practices of health care provision, health care needs and strategies of undocumented migrants in Switzerland, and performed an assessment of selected practice models.”
