Report on expert consultation on access to medicines 2011, para. 44
- Paragraph text
- The right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health encompasses access to medical services and the underlying determinants of health, such as water, sanitation, non-discrimination and equality. As access to medicines is an integral and fundamental part of the right to health, Governments and the international community as a whole have a responsibility to provide access to medicines for all. Yet massive inequalities remain in access to medicines around the world, as up to 2 billion people (or one third of the world's population) lack access to essential medicines. Most of them live in low- and middle-income countries, where the needs of persons living in poverty, women, children and undocumented migrants, as well as other marginalized and vulnerable groups who are often discriminated against in terms of access to medicines, are ignored or underestimated.

- Furthermore, test results are passed on to employers or recruitment agencies without the migrant worker's consent, breaching the requirement of confidentiality and contrary to international recommendations. Additionally, pre- and post-test counselling protocols may not be followed, even when required by law. A right to health approach, however, requires that counselling, voluntary testing and treatment be treated as a health-care continuum. Migrant workers who test positive for HIV may remain in an irregular situation, making them more vulnerable to abuse by employers and less likely to access medical treatment. In cases of pregnancy, women may resort to risky illegal abortion to avoid deportation. Further, compulsory testing stigmatizes those who are deported based on positive test results.

- Paragraph text
- As with other 3D jobs, informal arrangements and lack of coverage under labour and occupational health and safety laws are common, leaving little room for migrant farm workers to negotiate working and living conditions necessary to facilitate the realization of their right to health. Inadequate and unhygienic living conditions, food insecurity, underpayment of wages and excessive hours among migrant farm workers increase the risk of illness and work-related injuries, while decreasing their capacity to access health care. High vulnerability to HIV has been recorded among migrant farm workers in some regions, due to lack of access to information and knowledge about HIV, availability and use of condoms, voluntary testing and health care.

- Paragraph text
- States, including receiving States, should ensure involvement of migrant workers in decision-making processes and awareness-raising strategies, particularly in relation to accessing health services. Participation will also raise awareness among potential migrant workers about issues such as migration stress factors, illegal recruiting practices, their rights in sending and receiving States and obligations of foreign employers. Community participation will assist in making health services culturally and linguistically appropriate for migrant workers. In some States, civil society organizations have successfully involved migrant workers in outreach and referral programmes resulting in culturally and linguistically appropriate information for migrant workers, thus encouraging community-led initiatives.

- Paragraph text
- Construction work is inherently hazardous because it involves working on scaffolding and unfinished structures and using powerful machinery. Falls have been found to be more common among migrant workers, while hand injuries from power tools and eye injuries from building materials lodging in unprotected eyes are also frequent occurrences. In hot climates, heat stroke, exhaustion, dehydration and heat-related cardiac conditions are of particular concern, especially for those compelled to work excessive hours. In addition, physical abuse by employers, overcrowded and unsanitary accommodation, non-payment of wages, confiscation of passports and contract substitution further increase health risks posed by construction work.

- Paragraph text
- Migrant domestic workers are frequently excluded or inadequately covered by the receiving State's labour laws and social protections, including health insurance. Sponsorship systems, debt, language barriers, fear of arrest, detention or deportation and a lack of effective recourse for violations interact to varying degrees in different receiving States to facilitate the systematic exploitation and abuse of domestic workers. The situation of some migrant domestic workers has even been described as "modern-day slavery". In order to fulfil the right to health, States are obligated to address the particular vulnerability of migrant domestic workers under labour, occupational health and safety and social protection laws.

- Paragraph text
- Occupational health is integral to the right to health. States should ensure that occupational health laws and policies address the unique vulnerabilities of migrant workers in dirty, dangerous and degrading (3D) industries and are implemented, monitored and enforced. The vulnerability of migrant workers in 3D jobs may be further intensified in cases of irregular migrant workers, who, due to their legal status are in a weaker position to negotiate their rights with employers. Furthermore, lax enforcement of laws and mechanisms like sponsorship systems in some countries, encourage exploitative practices. Sponsorship ties a migrant's authorization to work with one specific employer, and in some States, sponsorship gives an employer the power to refuse a migrant worker's request to transfer to another employer - such transfer may be sought due to abusive or unsafe working conditions.

- Paragraph text
- Ensuring the availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality of health facilities, goods and services on a non-discriminatory basis, especially for vulnerable populations like migrant workers, is a core obligation under the right to health. Non-discrimination requires that regular and irregular migrant workers be equally entitled to freedoms and entitlements available to nationals of States. Access to health care in many receiving States, however, is dictated by restrictive immigration policies and public perceptions of 'non-deserving' migrant workers, particularly those in an irregular situation. In the wake of the global economic crisis and associated austerity measures, States have legislated limitations on previously available health-care benefits for migrant workers. Such limitations are contrary to States' obligation to desist from taking retrogressive measures that impact on health.

- Health-seeking behaviour can be influenced by a migrant worker's cultural background. Cultural misunderstandings and apprehension of procedures which they are not traditionally and culturally familiar with act as barriers to access. Migrant workers may therefore prefer doctors who practise their native traditional systems of medicines and who better understand their diseases, as opposed to the host State's health-care providers, who are perceived to lack cultural sensitivity to their health problems and sometimes racist and therefore discriminatory.

The right to health and international drug control, compulsory treatment for drug dependence and access to controlled medicines 2010, para. 59
- Paragraph text
- States are obliged to respect the right to health by refraining from denying equal access for all persons, including prisoners or detainees, to preventive, curative and palliative health services. Many States have begun to implement harm-reduction programmes within treatment facilities because prior punitive regimes have resulted in the most rapidly increasing rates of HIV incidence in the world. Nevertheless, needle and syringe programmes currently are available only in places of detention in 10 countries, and OST is available in at least one prison in fewer than 40 countries.

Occupational health 2012, para. 7
- Paragraph text
- A number of international human rights instruments address the right to occupational health in a variety of contexts. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides for the right of everyone to "just and favourable conditions of work" (art. 23). The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women establishes women's "right to protection of health and to safety in working conditions, including the safeguarding of the function of reproduction" (art. 11.1(f)) and requires States to "provide special protection to women during pregnancy in types of work proved to be harmful to them" (art. 11.2 (d)). The International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families obliges States to "take measures not less favourable than those applied to nationals to ensure that working and living conditions of migrant workers and members of their families in a regular situation are in keeping with the standards of fitness, safety, health and principles of human dignity" (art. 70).

Right to health in conflict situations 2013, para. 40
- Paragraph text
- The health needs of certain groups are often overlooked in conflict due to limited or suspended services. Older persons are more at risk in conflict due to poor mobility and are less able to travel to health facilities. They may be unable to carry heavy packages of food or containers of water, and often live without family support, which renders them vulnerable to higher levels of malnutrition and disease. Similarly, persons with disabilities, often abandoned by families fleeing conflict, may face greater health and safety risks. Many facilities are unable to provide children with disabilities with the treatment and care suited to their physical developmental needs, hampering their ability to enjoy their right to health.

- Accordingly, States should ensure the participation of migrant workers, including irregular migrant workers, in the formulation, implementation, monitoring and enforcement of laws and policies, including in the negotiation of bilateral agreements. As trade unions are considered fundamental in promoting workers rights, including occupational health, regular and irregular migrant workers, should be encouraged to participate in or form unions. Effective participation, especially of irregular workers requires positive measures by States to create an environment in which these groups can participate without fear of sanctions. Access to timely and accurate information is a prerequisite to meaningful participation in health-related decision-making.

- Paragraph text
- Higher abortion rates among migrant workers have been linked to low awareness about and socioeconomic barriers to accessing contraception and family planning services. In countries which permit abortion but which prohibit migrant workers from becoming pregnant, the result is unequal access to legal reproductive health services due to apprehension of job loss and deportation, leading to risky treatment delays and unsafe abortions. Where abortion is criminalized, resort to unsafe abortion is also driven by the threat of criminal prosecution.
