Asylum-seekers, like any population, need healthcare services, yet national laws sometimes restrict access to such services. The European Social Charter (revised) protects the right to health and medical services. However, the Charter has a complex application, and its scope is limited concerning foreigners. This article analyses to what extent the provisions of the Charter on the right to health and medical assistance apply to adult asylum-seekers. It shows that the Charter may apply to various degrees to asylum-seekers depending on several circumstances, such as the national definition of residence or regular work, grounds for seeking asylum, citizenship or lack thereof. Depending on these factors, some asylum-seekers may receive full healthcare services, whereas others may have only limited rights. The article shows that the migrant statuses created by national and EU law do not fit in the system of statuses in the Charter, which might produce legal hindrances to accessing health-related rights for asylum-seekers. The article also discusses the possible ways for the European Committee of Social Rights to further expand the scope of the Charter's application.

寻求庇护者的医疗服务：理清欧洲社会宪章。

与任何人群一样，寻求庇护者需要医疗保健服务，但国家法律有时会限制获得此类服务。《欧洲社会宪章》（修订版）保护健康和医疗服务的权利。然而，该宪章的适用范围很复杂，而且其适用范围仅限于外国人。本文分析了《宪章》关于健康权和医疗援助权的规定在多大程度上适用于成年寻求庇护者。它表明，根据多种情况，例如国家对居住或正常工作的定义、寻求庇护的理由、公民身份或缺乏公民身份，《宪章》可能在不同程度上适用于寻求庇护者。根据这些因素，一些寻求庇护者可能会获得全面的医疗服务，而其他人可能只有有限的权利。文章表明，国家和欧盟法律规定的移民身份不符合宪章的身份体系，这可能会对寻求庇护者获得与健康相关的权利造成法律障碍。文章还讨论了欧洲社会权利委员会进一步扩大宪章适用范围的可能途径。
