ABSTRACT
Primary healthcare has been regarded as the initial point of contact for individuals wishing to access healthcare. Urban health systems are to be oriented towards primary healthcare and should have better health outcomes and greater public satisfaction in terms of equity and quality of care. The present chapter is to understand the access of selective primary healthcare services to the labour migrants living in 13 Indian cities. This paper is based on a cross-sectional survey covering about 51,000 labour migrant households sampled across these cities. Data on socio-demographics, living conditions, migration history and reception of primary healthcare services were collected through interviewer-administered pretested questionnaires. Access of these services to labour migrants was reported across these cities.
