Healthcare Facilities
- Workers have the right to access both public and private healthcare facilities. Public healthcare requires a valid health card, which your employer must help you obtain.
Emergency Services
- In case of medical emergencies, workers can access any hospital's emergency department regardless of their insurance status. Emergency care cannot be denied based on inability to pay.
