This paper examines Indian migrant workers' access to health care in Lebanon. The findings are based on quantitative and qualitative data collected in 1998 from a sample of 402 semi-skilled and unskilled migrant workers from India. The study tries to shed light on the plight of migrant workers, especially that of unauthorized ones, whose situation is compounded by meager income and the absence of a health insurance policy. High medical costs in Lebanon restrict migrants' access to health care, leaving many migrants to suffer from various diseases. The paper concludes with policy recommendations for sending and receiving countries, the implementation of which would contribute to the welfare and betterment of the health conditions of migrant workers
