Health care utilisation amongst Shenzhen migrant workers: does being insured make a difference?email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.

For greater equity this group need to be included in the insurance schemes as they develop. (Source: BMC Health Services Research)
