  1. Why it is unethical to charge migrant women for pregnancy care in the National Health Service.Arianne Shahvisi & Fionnuala Finnerty - 2019 - Journal of Medical Ethics 45 (8):489-496.

    During the “age of austerity” the UK government has progressively limited free health services for “overseas visitors” on the grounds of fairness and frugality.

In this article I explore the interaction between the discourses of austerity and xenophobia as they relate to migrants’ access to healthcare. By examining the available data and (...)
