Discriminación y exclusión hacia migrantes en el sistema de salud chileno. Una revisión sistematizada

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to carry out a systematic review of the literature, in the electronic databases: Redalyc, Dialnet and Scielo, with the key words: health "and" migrants. Carrying out for it, a complete reading of the articles, where finally one works with twenty-one, of which sixteen belong to primary studies and five to secondary studies; ten describe the situation of migrants in Chile; eleven relate access to health of migrants from power, perceived discrimination, socio-cultural integration, poverty, public policies, coverage and transnational use of health services. To do this, a content analysis is carried out, revealing the emerging categories: "migration" and "health, health systems and access to health care" and seven subcategories. Among the results, it stands out that in general, health care is usually experienced in the midst of ignorance, lack of information and discrimination, as access barriers, which affects especially the quality of life of the segment of the migrant population living in conditions precarious, due to scarce labor supply, lack of economic resources, violation of rights, discrimination and social exclusion.
