Abstract
The migratory journey of asylum seekers is often long, complex, and marked by numerous traumas impacting both their somatic and psychological health. The goal of healthcare systems is to welcome and treat patients equitably. This article provides an overview of the migration situation in Switzerland and analyzes the impact of decisions, particularly regarding deportation, on the health of asylum seekers. It also serves as a call to reassess forced deportations to countries unable to meet the basic standards of the European Convention on Human Rights, as well as to enforce stricter controls on the overall conditions of deportations and to reexamine detention practices to limit their impact on the health of asylum seekers.
