The SOLACE project examines access to health care for undocumented migrants in four European countries — Czechia, Germany, Switzerland, and Denmark — with special attention to children, older people, and those living in legally precarious situations. Using a comparative perspective, the project explores how legal status, age, and socio-economic vulnerability influence the ability to obtain health care in diverse European societies.
SOLACE will produce four country case studies that will be used as teaching resources for future health professionals and form the basis of a scholarly publication. The project brings together experts from multiple partner universities to share knowledge and inspire better practices in providing care for highly vulnerable groups. It also engages early-career researchers and aims to share findings with a wide audience to improve understanding and support for equitable health care.
