The right to health violated in Mayotte
The High authority to fight discrimination and promote equality (HALDE) denounces discriminations and important breaches to the right to health in Mayotte. It concludes that claims of discriminations of undocumented migrants and their children, or of unaccompanied children, when accessing health care, are well-founded. It asks the authorities to put 'State medical aid' or an equivalent medical coverage in place in Mayotte and also, considering the obvious violation of provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Children (UNCRC), that children of undocumented migrants and unaccompanied children can be directly affiliated to social security.
