Following the submission of an asylum application, the Office français de l’immigration et de l’intégration is responsible for carrying out, within a reasonable time and after a personal interview with the asylum seeker, an assessment of the latter’s vulnerability in order to determine any special reception needs. These special needs are also taken into account if they become apparent at a later stage in the asylum procedure. In implementing the rights of asylum seekers and throughout the period of examination of their application, account is taken of the specific situation of vulnerable persons.
During the personal interview, the applicant is informed of the possibility of benefiting from the free health examination provided for in article L. 321-3 of the Social Security Code.
