Abstract This study discusses the main findings of the quantitative research conducted within the Mig-HealthCare consortium countries to explore the physical and mental health of migrants and refugees. The study population is defined as migrants/refugees who have been residing in Europe, for at least 6 months and up to 5 years. In order to be able to capture the recent migration flow, the analysis was based on 1169 questionnaires collected in 10 EU-Member States, answered by adult migrants residing less than 5 years in the specific country. A total of 29% of migrants stated that their health is poor or fair. Overall, 56.9% of migrants needed health care services during the last 6 months, however approximately one in four did not have access to them. The most frequent problems were long waiting times, not being able to organize an appointment, not knowing where to go, lack of communication and long distances. The most frequent chronic health problem migrants/refugees face is caries and headaches/migraines, followed by psychological disease and sleep disorders. Approximately one in three women have been pregnant since entering the current EU country, whereas one in four have had a miscarriage or abortion and 21.5% are currently pregnant. Summing up, most of the migrants face common medical problems such as bad teeth, headaches and psychological problems. However long waiting times, not knowing where to go and lack of communication are barriers to accessing healthcare. The fact that the immunization status of migrants/refugees is unclear, a significant number suffer from serious chronic diseases and the limited breast and cervical cancer screening of female migrants/refugees pose serious threats to their health and important challenges for the health services of Europe.
