ASPRILLA CORDOBA, Keyra Liseth e MONTENEGRO MARTINEZ, Gino. Internal migration and access to health services. The case of the Afro-Colombian migrant population from the department of Chocó to Medellín. rev.ces derecho [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.2, pp.28-44. Epub 06-Out-2022.

Internal migration offers opportunities in terms of employment, education, and well-being. However, it also poses challenges on several fronts, including access to health services. This article describes access to health services for a population that migrates from the department of Chocó to Medellín. To this end, a telephone survey was applied to 392 Afro-Colombian migrants from the department of Chocó to Medellín. The population that migrates from Chocó to Medellín refers to barriers of various types to access health services; more frequently, they refer to obstacles to access medicines, followed by those barriers to the authorization of procedures. Thus, belonging to the general social security system in health does not guarantee adequate access to services. There is a need to integrate the health needs of internal migrants into national health policies and strategies.
