广州是中国最大的城市之一，也是华南地区的主要贸易港口，吸引了许多非洲商人和贸易商移居广州，以获得经济利益。以前的研究已经探讨了这一新兴人群的文化和经济角色;然而，对他们在中国的医疗保健经历知之甚少。半结构化访谈和焦点小组被用来评估在中国广州的非洲移民的医疗保健经验和感知的障碍，以获得医疗保健。总体而言，非洲移民在获得保健方面遇到各种障碍，对当地的保健服务不满意。报告的主要障碍包括负担能力、法律的问题、语言障碍和文化差异。面对多重障碍，非洲移民在广州获得医疗服务的机会有限。当地的卫生环境不适应非洲移民人口，这表明提供语言和文化上适当的服务可能会改善移民获得护理的机会。
Guangzhou, one of China's largest cities and a main trading port in South China, has attracted many African businessmen and traders migrating to the city for financial gains. Previous research has explored the cultural and economic roles of this newly emerging population; however, little is known about their health care experiences while in China. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were used to assess health care experiences and perceived barriers to health care access among African migrants in Guangzhou, China. Overall, African migrants experienced various barriers to accessing health care and were dissatisfied with local health services. The principal barriers to care reported included affordability, legal issues, language barriers, and cultural differences. Facing multiple barriers, African migrants have limited access to care in Guangzhou. Local health settings are not accustomed to the African migrant population, suggesting that providing linguistically and culturally appropriate services may improve access to care for the migrants.
