Access to Health Care by Migrants with Precarious Status During a Health Crisis: Some Insights from Portugal

Vera Lucia Raposo et al.

Summary: In March 2020, the Portuguese Government issued a regulation granting temporary legal status to irregular migrants who had previously initiated regularization procedures, allowing them full access to social benefits, including healthcare. Despite the generous constitutional and legal framework in Portugal regarding healthcare rights for irregular migrants, practical barriers have hindered their full access to healthcare services provided by the national health service. This decision is not only significant in fulfilling migrants' health rights as stipulated by international commitments, but also in the context of combating COVID-19, grounded on both human rights and public health reasons.
