Abstract
Previous studies on urban refugees in Thailand are quite limited. A majority of the study was the focus on refugees residing in camps, followed by refugees in the detention center. These are two closed settings and have specific non-government organizations to take care of. Although Thailand has a health system for migrants, refugees are not covered by such a system. Thus a desk review on health status and healthcare provision for refugees will shed light on how to provide healthcare services to urban refugees in Thailand. This paper will review previous studies which focus on the health status of refugees and asylum-seekers and access and use of healthcare service of refugees and asylum-seekers. Also, it will review a state of knowledge of health status and access and use of healthcare in Thailand.
