Navigating financial coverage of healthcare to undocumented migrants at two hospitals in Oslo: a qualitative study
The underlying assumption of patients being documented in routines led to a process of othering of undocumented patients and thereby reproducing their marginalised position in the health system, hence depriving them of the right to 'health care that is absolutely necessary and cannot wait'. We recommend that hospitals increase staff's knowledge and capacity to ensure undocumented migrants' right to healthcare.
