GEAS reform brings improved healthcare for refugee children, despite overall restrictive changes
By
Veronika Wiemker
Summary
The article discusses the GEAS (Common European Asylum System) reform and its mostly negative impact on refugees, with one notable exception: improved healthcare access for children. The author recounts meeting a young refugee named Fahim (name changed) in a pediatric consultation at a reception center, using his story to illustrate how the reform's healthcare provisions for children represent a rare positive development in an otherwise restrictive policy package.
