Immigrants are a vulnerable population group with particular characteristics, which
means that they face an increased risk of social exclusion. Migrant access to health
services is one of the most important factor that contributes to their social inclusion in
the host society.
The purpose of our study is to record the health conditions of migrants in terms
of health services provided. Also, the presence of migrants as a work force in Greece
is also examined. Immigrants' access to health services is dictated by laws, in a state
of justice, and helps to reduce inequalities and then to safeguard public health. The
study was conducted in a population that lived in the Prefecture of Attica and more
specifically in Athens.
The structure of the work is as follows: The introduction gives the basic
definitions that will make us better understand the main terms of immigrant and
refugee. The first chapter presents the economic and socio-cultural effects of
immigration. In the second chapter immigrants are considered as a workforce,
depending on their living conditions as workers, and there is evidence of their
inventory. The third chapter examines the example of NGO Praksis, gives information
about the organization as well as more specifically about the structure from which the
sample was taken for research.
The fourth chapter analyzes the purpose of the study, the respondent population
and the methodology of research, followed by the analysis with the results of the
survey.
In the fifth chapter there is a reference to the right to use the health system by
immigrants, access to health services, and the latest developments for uninsured and
vulnerable healthcare groups. Then the sixth and final chapter follow the conclusions.
Finally, it is followed by the Annex listing the survey questionnaire as well as
the charts that emerged during the statistical analysis of the data.
