The look at health focuses on the institutional relationship with official entities, with health services; the strategies used in accessing health care; the main difficulties in this access and the health problems mentioned. We start from of both the responses to the questionnaires and the interviews carried out within the scope of an investigation into the role and practices of host institutions in the integration of refugees in Portugal between 2017-2019. We conclude that although access to health care is foreseen and guaranteed, obstacles arise in everyday life, in real local contexts, mainly due to linguistic and cultural barriers, lack of answers in the public health system for some specialties, especially in terms of mental health. The support network and the role of volunteers were essential. It is recommended that a structured network of intercultural mediators and interpreters be created to systematically accompany the relocated refugees. O texto aborda a saúde no contexto do processo de recolocação de refugiados em Portugal, a partir das instituições da sociedade civil que acolheram os refugiados, no contexto do processo de recolocação que ocorreu na sequência da crise de 2015. O olhar sobre a saúde debruça-se sobre a relação institucional com as entidades oficiais, com os serviços de saúde; as estratégias utilizadas no acesso aos cuidados de saúde; as principais dificuldades nesse acesso e os problemas de saúde referidos. Partimos quer das respostas aos questionários, quer das entrevistas realizados no âmbito de uma investigação sobre o papel e as práticas das instituições de acolhimento na integração de refugiados em Portugal entre 2017-2019. Concluímos que apesar do acesso à saúde estar previsto e garantido, surgem obstáculos no dia-a-dia, nos contextos reais locais, devido principalmente a barreiras linguísticas e culturais, falta de respostas no sistema de saúde público para algumas especialidades, sobretudo ao nível da saúde mental. A rede de apoio e o papel dos voluntários foram essenciais. Recomenda-se a criação de uma rede estruturada de mediadores interculturais e intérpretes para fazer o acompanhamento sistemático dos refugiados recolocados.
