Éducation des exclus et des migrants diabétiques

[Follow-up with refugees during patient therapeutic education sessions]

The reception of a growing refugee population has confronted the team at our health centre with the challenge of managing chronic pathologies in patients who are in precarious situations in terms of financial resources, residence status and social rights. The organisation of the follow-up of chronically ill migrants as soon as they enter the care pathway and the adaptation of therapeutic education techniques to this vulnerable population seem to be able to constitute a way of social integration through care.
