This second European Observatory report takes another look at access to healthcare for people without a residence permit (from now on referred to as “undocumented migrants”). It combines the results of two complementary surveys. The first is a statistical survey focusing on adult undocumented migrants and the second, based on interviews, focuses on the situation of their children. These two surveys involved 1,218 adults who either participated in the quantitative survey (1,125) or provided their testimonies (93) to Médecins du Monde teams in 31 towns in 11 European countries. In these 11 countries—Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom—Médecins du Monde runs programmes promoting health and access to rights and healthcare among vulnerable groups, including undocumented migrants. Both surveys were carried out within these Médecins du Monde programmes, as well as in the premises of several partner organisations, in 2008.
