Migrants' right to health in Southern Africa

George Mukundi Wachira

This report traces some of the relevant constitutional, legislative and international standards that are applicable in each SADC member state relative to migrants' right to health. The review reveals that the law in all the SADC member states contains either expressly or implied provisions that guarantee migrants rights to health. While in some states, the law is more direct than others in its protection of migrant rights to health, it has emerged that an interpretation of the domestic law in consonance with the States\2019 international legal obligations accords migrants right to health.
