Migrant and Refugee Access to Health Systems

Challenging (Im)mobilities in Healthcare
In light of the ongoing struggle faced by migrants and refugees trying to access healthcare, this thought-provoking book tackles key issues at the intersection of mobility and health. It critically engages with the bureaucratic, economic and cultural barriers faced by these groups, arguing that a sedentary bias persists in national health systems.

Chapters examine the challenges of providing healthcare to people on the move, tackling issues ranging from registration and border control, to abortion access and mobility justice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Expert authors combine theoretical approaches with in-depth case studies from continents including Asia, Europe and South America, critically analysing modern healthcare systems within the context of heightened human mobility and climate change. In addition to highlighting major difficulties, the book explores spaces of resistance and opportunities for change.

This interdisciplinary book is a vital tool for students and scholars in medical and political anthropology, health and migration, sociology, and geography. The inclusion of practical experience and contributions from healthcare professionals also makes this an important read for medical students and educators interested in health access and provision.
