An overview of the situation of people excluded from healthcare systems In this report, Doctors of the World presents its latest observations on the social health determinants and health status of people facing multiple vulnerability factors whom we helped in accessing healthcare across our 160 European programmes during 2012. The report presents some of the results of comparative data collected in 14 cities across seven countries. It covers a sample of 8,412 patients, 19,302 consultations (including 10,968 medical consultations) and 11,921 diagnoses reported by our volunteer health professionals. In order to capture the context in which this data collection took place, a concise update on the national legislations of these seven countries has been included. We also added to the quantitative data a number of qualitative reports from our field teams on the most important European trends identified by our network.
