Health – a human right

Hundreds of thousands in Germany are barred from adequate medical services. This is a scandal! We call on the government to ensure access to health care for all people living in Germany.

Access to health care for all!

Access to adequate and high-quality health care is a human right. Germany is obliged by international law to protect, respect and implement this right. It’s a scandal that, despite of this obligation, many people in this country have no or only limited access to medical care.

Among those affected are

• asylum seekers
• persons without regular residence status
• persons without health insurance or with insurance contribution debts
• EU citizens in precarious working conditions or seeking employment

Besides legal hurdles, languages barriers and discrimination prevent access to adequate medical services.

We call on the German government to take immediate measures to remove discriminating barriers and ensure access to health care for all.
