Undocumented immigrants' and immigrant women's access to healthcare services in the Basque Country (Spain).
Iratxe Pérez-UrdialesPublished in: Global health action (2021)
For the access of undocumented immigrants and immigrant women, structural and individual barriers based on their social vulnerability were found. Among others, gender-based violence reduced women's possibility to access healthcare services and being undocumented led to restricted access entitlement and to fear rejection at health centres. Therefore, besides ensuring immigrants' legal entitlement, there is need of promoting rights-based attention to get more inclusive health systems.
