BackgroundUndocumented migrants endure adverse living conditions while facing barriers to access healthcare. Evidence is lacking regarding their healthcare needs, notably in regards to chronic diseases. Our goal was to investigate health conditions in undocumented migrants attended in primary care setting.MethodsThis study was conducted at the primary care outpatient clinic, Geneva University Hospitals, Switzerland.
