Left Behind: Voices of people excluded from universal healthcare coverage in Europe

In its 2019 Observatory report, MdM identified barriers in access to care for people facing vulnerabilities. This complementary report is a compilation of human stories from people seen at MdM and FEANTSA member programmes. It is the result of a partnership between MdM, FEANTSA, and the European Citizens Action Service, and a product of the EPIM-supported Civic Observatory on the Rights of EU Citizens.

The purpose of this complementary report is to provide policymakers at national and EU level with evidence from the most vulnerable in our societies. By providing human stories with experiences
of barriers in access to care, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, the report aims to highlight the reality for people excluded from mainstream healthcare, including many vulnerable EU mobile citizens, and to formulate recommendations to address existing gaps.
