Editorial

“You practically have to be at death’s door to get anything other than paracetamol.” In the second episode of our three-part series on healthcare for migrants, we focus on highly skilled migrants, often referred to as expats. What can we as physicians learn from their experiences, and what do they reveal about our own healthcare system? Jop discusses these questions with highly skilled migrant Eva Alvarez and general practitioner Stijn Bos.
