Migration of Indian health professionals to selected European nations : the case of Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden

Authors Ayona BHATTACHARJEE
Description
India’s comparative advantage in health care is due to a large resource pool and competence in English. Indian migration to the US, UK or Australia has been widely studied, but not much attention has been given to the Scandinavian countries. This paper fills the gap by analysing recent trends and prospects for Indian health professionals in Denmark, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. It combines available data sources, personal communication with different migration boards, interview of two international recruiters and a migrant health professional. Additionally, it looks at Indian R&D tie ups in the sector with these countries, which have implications for the movement of health professionals.

Mig-Healthcare: Minimize health inequalities and improve the integration of vulnerable migrants and refugees into local communities

Description
The project aims to facilitate the transition from institutional to community-based care and integrated services for migrants and refugees that will ensure health equality and promote social inclusion. The overall objective of Mig-HealthCare is to improve health care access for vulnerable migrants and refugees, support their inclusion and participation in European communities and reduce health inequalities. Mig-HealthCare will produce effective community-based care models, pilot tested in different contexts and countries, which will focus on health promotion and prevention. It will develop guidelines and tools to reorient health care services to a community level. The project is implemented by a consortium of Universities, national authorities and NGOs from ten countries across Europe, with diverse experience on issues of public health and integration of refugees and migrants.

Medizinische Versorgung von Migranten ohne Aufenthaltsstatus in Deutschland - Zugang zu Gesundheitsversorgung und Anforderungen an die Medizin

Principal investigator Markus Herrmann (Principal Investigator)
Description
Gesundheitsversorgung von Menschen ohne legalen Aufenthaltsstatus in Deutschland ist defizitär. Ärzte berichten, dass diese, wenn überhaupt, erst zu spät medizinische Hilfe in Anspruch nehmen. Oft wird die Chance einer frühzeitigen Diagnose und Behandlung vertan. Der Rechtsanspruch auf ärztliche Behandlung nach dem Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz wird von Menschen ohne Papiere aus Furcht vor Statusaufdeckung selten eingelöst. In Deutschland haben sich parallele nichtstaatliche Strukturen der medizinischen Hilfe herausgebildet, die als primärmedizinische Anlaufstellen und Vermittlungsstellen fungieren. Eine interdisziplinäre Arbeitsgruppe der Universität Magdeburg und der Charité Berlin soll mit Hilfe qualitativer und quantitativer empirischer Methoden einen systematischen Überblick über Angebote nichtstaatlicher Angebote medizinischer Hilfe für Menschen ohne Papiere erarbeiten. Dabei wird fokussiert auf: gesundheitliche, sozialmedizinische und rechtliche Probleme in der Primärversorgung; Schnittstellenprobleme zu unterschiedlichen Leistungsanbietern im Gesundheitswesen; Barrieren im Zugang zu notwendigen Gesundheitsleistungen.

Immigrants' Pathways and Barriers to Health Care

Principal investigator Lothar Probst (Principal Investigator), Nina Glick Schiller (Principal Investigator)
Description
To date, comparisons of migrant integration policies and outcomes remain primarily on a national level. However, health care delivery including access to specialists for persons of migrant background may vary locally as a consequence of urban restructuring following deindustrialization. These issues are raised in the main proposal which will focus on adult onset diabetes and serious injury in three German and three UK cities. In preliminary studies the research team will consult with experts in comparative urban and health care restructuring in Germany and the UK and conduct preliminary explorations in cities that will serve as possible research sites.
