Amendment No. 4 | Doc. 14335 | 20 June 2017
Migration as an opportunity for European development
Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 9.3.6, insert the following paragraph:
"ensuring access to affordable and adequate health services for all migrants, regardless of their legal status;"
Explanatory note
Next to education and citizenship, access to health care is paramount to promoting inclusive societies by enabling active participation of migrants. The WHO Health Evidence Network report (2016) shows that definitions used for different groups of migrants and their legal status determine migrants’ access to affordable and adequate health services.
