Sažetak

The paper deals with medical aspects of migration by first focusing on legal, economic and socio-cultural factors that threaten migrants’ health and by then identifying how these factors affect access to medical facilities. Using the case of Slovenia, I will prove that, despite apparently formally regulated access to health services, migrants often remain without health care or without medical citizenship. Because of the frequent inability of migrants to access their formally guaranteed rights, it is crucial to assess how they are perceived by health workers - the second part of the article therefore analyses some of their responses.
