本文利用定性实证研究，调查了黎巴嫩埃塞俄比亚移徙家政工人 (MDW) 的医疗保健需求、获得医疗保健的机会以及医疗保健策略。该分析重点关注四种类型的医疗保健需求：小病、怀孕、严重疾病（例如癌症、肺结核或心脏病）和紧急情况（由于事故、自杀未遂或袭击）。可以预见的是，根据 MDW 的身份（有证、自由职业者或无证工人），获得医疗保健的机会明显不同。本文借鉴系统性健康不平等和人际种族歧视的概念，提供了黎巴嫩埃塞俄比亚妇女在获得医疗保健方面不平等的证据。我确定了他们经历的具体排斥形式，并制定了一个矩阵，用于分析按移民身份区分的获得医疗保健方面的系统性不平等。
This paper investigates the healthcare needs, access to healthcare, and healthcare strategies of Ethiopian migrant domestic workers (MDWs) in Lebanon, drawing on qualitative empirical research. The analysis focusses on four types of health care needs: minor illnesses, pregnancies, serious illnesses (such as cancer, tuberculosis or heart problems), and emergencies (due to accidents, suicide attempts or assaults). Predictably, access to healthcare is distinctly differentiated according to an MDW's status as a documented, freelancer, or undocumented worker. Drawing on the concepts of systemic health inequities and inter-personal racial discrimination, the paper provides evidence for inequitable access to healthcare experienced by Ethiopian women in Lebanon. I identify the specific forms of exclusion they experience and develop a matrix for analysis of systemic inequities in access to healthcare differentiated by migrant status.
