Keywords:
UNENDING ISSUE, HEALTHCARE, UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTSAbstract
One of the most important problems of undocumented migrants can be related to the lack of healthcare. In this paper we will summarize the healthcare issues of migrants such as difficulties to health access, lack of cross-cultural communication, post traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), health decay due to stressful and multiple jobs; lack of public health protection; specific problem of health of Woman and the Child in migration; occupational health. We will also show the political, ethical and spiritual ideas behind the world of migration and the healthcare. We will try to sketch a model of healthcare for undocumented migrants grounded on the Gospel.
