Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Human Rights Law
  • Health Policy

Background:

  • Universal health coverage (UHC) initiatives often exclude undocumented migrants.
  • Undocumented migrants face significant health barriers due to legal status, living conditions, and socioeconomic factors.
  • Global migration trends increase the vulnerability of this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess if national UHC approaches ensure rights-based access to affordable healthcare for undocumented migrants.
  • To analyze comparative experiences from Norway, Thailand, and the United States.
  • To inform policies for realizing the right to health for all, including undocumented migrants.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative policy analysis of healthcare access for undocumented migrants in three countries.
  • Evaluation of national laws, regulations, and policies related to UHC and migrant health.
  • Assessment of service availability and affordability for essential healthcare.

Main Results:

  • National UHC approaches vary significantly in their inclusion of undocumented migrants.
  • Barriers to healthcare access and affordability persist for undocumented migrants across studied nations.
  • Current policies in Norway, Thailand, and the US demonstrate limitations in providing rights-based healthcare.

Conclusions:

  • Achieving UHC aligned with the right to health requires explicit inclusion of undocumented migrants.
  • Governments must reform policies to guarantee access to affordable essential healthcare for all individuals.
  • Rights-based support is crucial for ensuring health equity for undocumented migrant populations.
