“No, it is not a breach of my oath because it is beyond my control; I use the policies that are in place.” Ethical challenges faced by healthcare workers in the provision of healthcare to cross-border migrants in Botswana

Health policies influence the way health care providers carry out their tasks, which can either positively or negatively impact access for vulnerable migrant groups. To address the challenges faced by healthcare providers in implementing their professional ethics, inclusive policies should be introduced, and human rights and ethics training should be provided, as well as ongoing dialogue to ensure that healthcare providers fulfil their professional obligations toward all migrant patients.

Abstract

Health policies influence the way health care providers carry out their tasks, which can either positively or negatively impact access for vulnerable migrant groups. To address the challenges faced by healthcare providers in implementing their professional ethics, inclusive policies should be introduced, and human rights and ethics training should be provided, as well as ongoing dialogue to ensure that healthcare providers fulfil their professional obligations toward all migrant patients.
