Healthcare

Asylum seekers have access to medical care during the asylum procedure. For people living in a reception centre, the centre's medical service is normally the first point of contact. Medical expenses covered through the reception system are handled according to the applicable rules. Applicants can request access to their medical records.

People who are not living in a reception centre can access healthcare through the arrangements applicable to their situation. Fedasil explains that people outside reception can consult a general practitioner and receive medical care.
