Van Dongen, E. (2004) If you are not satisfied, go back to your country: Experiences of discrimination in health care. Research report of ”Partners for Health, Phase II” Combating discrimination in health care

Extract: A qualitative study on experiences of discrimination and exclusion has been done in the countries of the five participants of the project: Italy, Spain, Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands. The history of migration, the origin of migrants, the focus of research on migrants and health care in general and development of health care for migrants differ to a large extent between the five countries. Therefore, it was decided to focus on migrant groups that belong to the field of expertise of the participants in the project, or that were determined as groups, which have clear problems of accessibility of health care. In Italy the research population was migrant women, with a focus on reproductive health. In Spain the research focused on migrant users of primary health care and hospitals. In Sweden the researchers focused on women from the Middle East and Somalia. In the Netherlands research was done in mental health care, in particular focused on Cape Verdean migrants. In Belgium, the researchers focused on mental health care for Turkish women with somatic complaints.
