- Summary
- In 2008/2009 Pharos, Unicef Netherlands and Defence for Children International (section Netherlands) conducted research into the access to healthcare at the hospital for undocumented children. The purpose of the research was finding out what the sticking points are when trying to get access to healthcare at the hospital and if their access changed due to the introduction of the new regulation. Until 2009 the healthcare at the hospital in the Netherlands was not financed by an official administration. Hospitals had to make agreements with the health insurances in order to make them pay for (Dutch) people who were not insured and/or didn't pay their bills. In 2009, a new regulation is introduced. An official administration pays hospitals (whom they have contracted) a certain amount for the treatment of an undocumented migrant.
