Barriers and Strategies for Promoting Equity in Migrant Care in Family Medicine: A Narrative Review of the Literature.

Abstract Migrant populations face significant barriers in accessing equitable healthcare, particularly within primary care settings where Family Medicine plays a central role. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on structural, cultural, linguistic, administrative, and legal obstacles that hinder equitable care for migrants, as well as strategies shown to improve access, quality, and health outcomes. Key barriers include limited health literacy, communication challenges, lack of culturally competent care, administrative restrictions, and gaps in continuity of care. Effective strategies identified in the literature include culturally adapted communication, professional interpretation, community‑based interventions, targeted training for clinicians, and system‑level policies promoting inclusiveness and accessibility. The review highlights the need for integrated, patient‑centered approaches that address both individual and structural determinants of inequity. Strengthening equity in migrant care requires coordinated action across clinical practice, health systems, and public policy.
