Abstract:
Asylum-seeking children constitute a highly vulnerable pediatric population, facing complex somatic and psychosocial challenges due to the migration and asylum process. This article aims to guide primary care providers through this complexity by providing concrete tools to ensure equity of care. The core focus is optimizing daily clinical practice. It outlines management requirements for somatic, psychological, social, and intercultural care within the context of the Swiss asylum procedure. Handling these situations effectively require a multidisciplinary approach (social, school, medical). The objective is to facilitate the child's global integration while equipping practitioners with the necessary resources to address the complexity of migration and prevent feelings of disempowerment among caregivers.
