Healthcare Utilization Among Senegalese Migrants in Paris: An Analytical Quality Assessment
Abstract
Healthcare services in Paris are crucial for migrants, including Senegalese individuals who often face language barriers and cultural differences. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a sample size of 200 Senegalese migrants, using structured questionnaires to gather data on healthcare utilization rates and patient experiences. Senegalese migrants reported lower quality care in terms of language barriers, timely appointments, and follow-up services compared to their French counterparts, indicating a need for improvement in service provision. The findings highlight the importance of addressing cultural and linguistic gaps in healthcare delivery to enhance patient satisfaction and equity among Senegalese migrants in Paris. Healthcare providers should implement language-assisted services and culturally sensitive care models to improve quality of care for Senegalese migrants.
