Spain: Healthcare Access Barriers for Migrant Farmworkers in Huelva

Migrant farmworkers in Huelva, Spain’s red fruit sector face systemic barriers to healthcare access due to irregular migration status, poor living conditions, remote locations, language gaps, and discrimination. This EU-funded technical note by Safe Habitats, Oxfam Intermon, and Conexión Social identifies key challenges—lack of documentation, inadequate sanitation and housing, limited medical access, and insufficient translation services—and calls for coordinated action to improve infrastructure, streamline registration, enhance transportation, integrate cultural mediation, and strengthen migrant rights protection. The report, produced under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, urges policymakers and local stakeholders to ensure equitable health access and social sustainability in agriculture.
