Despite international recognition of health as a fundamental human right, forced migrants face significant barriers to healthcare access, stemming from both limited legal entitlements and practical implementation challenges. The analysis explores three key aspects: the international legal framework and policy-making processes in the host state affecting health(care) access; forced migrants’ specific health needs and circumstances across premigration, migration, and post-migration phases; and the challenges arising from healthcare policies’ increasing politicization. The chapter argues that treating forced migrants’ access to healthcare primarily as a migration policy issue rather than a public health concern creates ethical dilemmas, systemic inefficiencies, and risks to public health. It advocates for mainstreaming migrant health in policy planning and implementation and emphasizes that improving access to healthcare for vulnerable populations benefits the overall public health and stability of host societies.
