Summary
"Not only legal residency, but also access to public health care, is a topic that permeates discussions regarding irregular migrants. Public health care is closely interlinked wih human rights concerns and the provision of essential medical treatment. The discussion of public health care provision is also interlinked with the question of state sovereignty and irregular migrants. Are states obliged to offer public health care to their residents irrespective of whether or not they have accepted them as legal residents? ... I decided to apply a comparative research approach with respect to two countries with very different settings and confronted by very different problems: Germany and South Africa. These countries share two central characteristics: each has a significant number of irregular migrants residing on its national territory and each claims sovereignty over control of immigration and residency as well as access to its public health care systems."--Page 14-15.
