Medical coverage consists of mandatory health insurance and a medical assistance plan. The mandatory health insurance provides benefits in kind (for sickness) and cash (for sickness and physical invalidity). Because of the principle of national solidarity, both nationals and nonnationals can access benefits in kind. 75 In Algeria, migrant workers are affiliated with the social security health scheme, irrespective of their nationality, the amount or nature of their remuneration or the form, nature or validity of their work contract (including irregular migrants). 76 59.
