Undocumented migrants' access to healthcare in Sweden, and the impact of Act 2013:407

CONCLUSION: Undocumented migrants' social needs are as great as their needs for healthcare. Healthcare staff are burdened with healthcare cost considerations which affect their judgement of care provision and prioritization. Healthcare staff attitudes towards undocumented migrants affect their access to healthcare. Undocumented migrants in need of healthcare are especially vulnerable due to their legal status, being ill and the fear of being reported and deported. To assure undocumented migrants' access to healthcare and maintain healthcare ethics, the only possible solution is to provide healthcare based on needs.PMID:37999980 | DOI:10.1177/09697330231215947
