        abstract = {Chennai is growing in size of its population every day. Considerable number of migrants are part of this new flow of population. Migrants in the new place face challenges related to their physical and psychological aspects. Even though services exist, most of the migrants may not have awareness about them. Barriers to receive the health care service in the new place may stem in many ways; such as working hours, accesses to the services, mode of transportation, cost of the treatment, the way hospital staffs treat them, communication problem, shyness, fear, health believes, confusion, lack of knowledge etc. When a person is sick, some assistance is needed to take care. The migrant construction workers mostly live along with other workers in a small temporary shelter. In such situation, it might get harder to maintain good health and to receive a support during sickness. 
Descriptive method of research is used for the study. The primary data was collected from the respondents using interview schedule by simple random sampling.},
