According to Press TV, in its annual survey of European healthcare access, the international humanitarian association, Medecins du Monde (MdM) or Doctors of the World called for every resident in the European Union to have equal access to public health services.
The charity said “While the economic crisis and austerity measures have resulted in an overall increase in unmet health needs in most countries, the most destitute… have been hit the hardest.”
The report, launched in the UK capital of London, is based on over 22,000 face-to-face consultations last year with patients in the EU member states of Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden as well as Switzerland.
The charity said most of its consultations had been with migrants and three-quarters of its patients were from outside the 28-member bloc.
