Approach to homeless healthcare in Prague
Michlová, Kateřina ; Háva, Petr (advisor) ; Bodnár, Jan (referee)
Health of homeless people is worse than health of the rest of population and is still decreasing. Availability of health services should be obvious for the solution of this problem. The same health care facilities are available to homeless people as well as to the rest of population, but sometimes homeless can't use it fully. The aim of this work is to assess approach to homeless health care in Prague, i.e. how health services are organized and how health services are available for the homeless. In the empirical part are used two qualitative research methods, expert interviews and semi-structured interviews. Through this research it was found that health care isn't available for homeless people fully. It is related to a gap in the law of health insurance, where isn't clear who pays for the insurance in special cases. The basic health care is provided by the Center of social services Prague and o. s. Naděje. The greatest barrier in approach to homeless health care is money, especially if we consider approach to dentists, gynecologists and medicaments. Another barrier is stigmatization, each respondent said that he had had a negative experience with doctors or medical staff so far.
