Overview

Examining which actors determine undocumented migrants' access to healthcare on the ground, this volume looks at what happens in the daily interactions between administrative personnel, healthcare professionals and migrant patients in healthcare institutions across Europe. Borders across Healthcare explores contemporary moral economies of the healthcare-migration nexus. The volume documents the many ways in which borders come to disrupt healthcare settings and illuminates how judgements of a health-related deservingness become increasingly important, producing hierarchies that undermine a universal right to healthcare.

Reviews

The notion that 'even health systems that are considered universal restrict the access' of migrants is the main takeaway from Borders across Healthcare, an important, well thought-out collection of nine essays. Published in 2020, the collection was written and compiled before the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet, far from diminishing its relevance, the timing makes the book prescient and even more insightful. ... The hope is that this volume will be read widely, and these questions will be taken up by practitioners and researchers across Europe. * Nordic Journal of Migration Research
