If you are a migrant in the UK, it’s important to understand your rights regarding NHS services. Most migrants are entitled to access NHS care, but your eligibility may depend on your immigration status. If you are a refugee, asylum seeker, or have settled status, you should be able to receive necessary healthcare. Always carry proof of your immigration status and inform the NHS staff about your situation. If you are unsure about your eligibility, you can ask for assistance at your local NHS service.
