There are many factors that keep undocumented workers from taking care of their health. They might have a family to supply for, and it might be their only source of living, so they put their health aside and keep working everyday even though they are carrying a disease with them. If they visit a health center, undocumented workers might keep track of their helth status for a while, but when they see improvement, they might suspend the treatment with a big possibility of worsening their health in a proximate future. Also, they might not even get to visit a Health Care due to their legal status and being afraid of deportation; this is what happens the most and not just them, but their family aswell. Another challenge is that they aren't able to afford expensive medicines, or not so expensive ones but for a chronic disease.
