The health sector in Algeria is developed with a clear focus on free and universal access to primary health care to its population. Migrants, asylum seekers and refugees have access to free primary health care services.

Several non-governmental and international organizations also cater for basic medical needs of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, and, when/if need be, refer them to public and/or private hospitals and clinics.
