Özet:

Thousands of people migrate every year due to various problems in their countries of origin. These unplanned migration movements essentially lead immigrants to encounter various health problems before, during, and after migration. While these problems are sometimes caused by natural factors in the migration process, at times they arise from the local regulations of the destination country or the social, economic, and cultural structure of the destination country. Despite various provisions included in international regulations to minimize these problems, research shows that immigrants face various obstacles in accessing the health rights they deserve simply because they are human. The aim of this study is to provide a concise sociological and legal overview of immigration health, also known as immigrant health. In this context, the study will firstly address the concept of health and the right to health, emphasizing that the conventional interpretation of "physical health" in relation to the concept of health is incorrect and clarifying what should be understood from the concept of health. The study will then explore the right to health in the context of migration, discussing the contributions immigrants make to their host countries through various data. Subsequently, it will briefly address the marginalization policies imposed on immigrants by both society and the relevant state, as well as the outcomes of these policies. Finally, the focus will be on how the right to health of immigrants is enshrined in various international regulations.
