Abstract
Immigration in the Czech Republic is relatively a new phenomenon. According to OECD Report 2006 Czech Republic was country with highest rate of immigration in the period 1992 - 2002 within the OECD.
The Ukrainian immigrants (33%) together with the migrants from other former USSR countries (Russians 5% and other) compose about 40 % of all migrants in the CR. Healthcare accessibility is understood as one of the crucial aspects of the migrants ´ integration in an receiving country.
There are some differences in legal entitlement to the Czech public health insurance between EU citizens and non EU citizens. As a consequence, some groups of migrants are in a high risk of not being provided with all needed health services.
The comparative research on health and health consumption differences between former Soviet Union migrants and the Czech population identified some health risks to be resolved in current integration and health policy.
