Healthcare needs, expectations and experiences of people experiencing homelessness in Western Switzerland: a qualitative and quantitative descriptive study
People experiencing homelessness in Switzerland are not spared by the common health inequities reported in Canada, the USA and the UK. Our results provide interesting foundations on which to build public health actions towards health equity for people experiencing homelessness in Switzerland and suggest that they could benefit from additional medical follow-up and tailored interventions.
