Abstract

Access to medical care is a core element in the care of refugees and asylum seekers, and should therefore be guaranteed in a barrier-free way. In practice, there are usually numerous access barriers and the first contact with the German Health Care System takes place in form of a statutory examination to exclude infectious diseases. In addition to the introduction of health insurance cards for refugees, an offer of medical consultation for several hours a week in the municipal emergency accommodations provides an opportunity for low threshold access to primary care and a bridging function to the integration into the regular health care system. This offer is independent of the obligatory initial examination according to 62 Asylum Law (AsylG) [1]. The evaluation of the first year of such a health care center is presented.
