Abstract
This comparative analysis examines the health policies for migrants in Turkey and European Union (EU) countries, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities inherent in cross-border care. Migrant health policies play a crucial role in addressing the healthcare needs of diverse migrant populations and promoting public health equity. Drawing upon a review of existing literature, policy documents, and empirical data, this study elucidates the key features, strengths, and limitations of health policies targeting migrants in Turkey and selected EU member states. Through a comparative lens, it explores differences in access to healthcare services, eligibility criteria, service delivery models, and the integration of migrants into national health systems. Moreover, the analysis identifies common trends, best practices, and areas for improvement in migrant health policy development and implementation across the studied contexts. By critically evaluating policy approaches and outcomes, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding migrant healthcare and offers insights for enhancing policy effectiveness and promoting health equity for migrant populations.
