The number of people on the move internationally is increasing, and a sizable number of these individuals are migrating through and to the WHO European Region. The UN Sustainable Development Goals demand that we leave no one behind and ensure equitable implementation of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), regardless of immigration status. In the WHO European region, some of the migrants in the most precarious situations are undocumented; defined as those who may have been unsuccessful in asylum applications, born to undocumented parents, continued their residence in a country after their permit or other means of stay expired, as well as those who have entered the country irregularly. These undocumented migrants face some of the biggest challenges to accessing UHC and are often left behind by systems that exclude and stigmatise them. This paper examines the literature on access to healthcare for undocumented migrants in the WHO European Region and calls for urgent action towards ensuring UHC for all migrants regardless of immigration status by 2030.
国际流动人口数量在不断增加，其中相当一部分人正穿越并前往世界卫生组织欧洲区域。联合国可持续发展目标要求我们不落下任何人，并确保全民健康覆盖（UHC）的公平实施，无论移民身份如何。在世界卫生组织欧洲区域，一些处境最为艰难的移民是无证移民；无证移民被定义为那些庇护申请可能未获成功的人、父母为无证移民的人、在其许可或其他居留手段过期后仍继续在某个国家居住的人，以及那些非法进入该国的人。这些无证移民在获得全民健康覆盖方面面临一些最大的挑战，并且往往被那些排斥和污名化他们的体系所抛弃。本文审视了关于世界卫生组织欧洲区域无证移民获得医疗保健的文献，并呼吁采取紧急行动，以确保到2030年所有移民无论移民身份如何都能享有全民健康覆盖。
