Cultural competence (CC) in the refugee context remains under-addressed in the literature. This study explores the perceptions of asylum seekers and refugees (N = 25) concerning the CC of healthcare providers. This study was conducted in 2019, on the island of Lesvos in Greece. A major finding is that, for the participants, CC means the provision of equal and human treatment and not the knowledge of culture-specific information from healthcare providers. Moreover, our findings highlight the necessity of rethinking CC in the refugee context and integrating relevant components to enhance the provision of equal treatment and ultimately end perceived or existing discrimination
