Eth­no-Medi­zinis­ches Zen­trum e.V.

The Eth­no-Med­ical Cen­ter e. V. (EMZ) is a non-prof­it insti­tu­tion whose goals are inter­cul­tur­al health pro­mo­tion and the “healthy inte­gra­tion” of migrants in Germany.

Since 1989, the cen­ter has been work­ing on var­i­ous projects to pro­mote the par­tic­i­pa­tion and equal oppor­tu­ni­ties of migrants in using the ser­vices of the health care sys­tem. This is because: the major­i­ty of this pop­u­la­tion group is not suf­fi­cient­ly famil­iar with the struc­tures of the Ger­man health care system.
