Challenges and facilitators to sexual and reproductive health care for undocumented in-transit migrant women in Mexico: a qualitative study
This study underscores the complex, multi-level barriers to delivering SRH care to UITMW in Mexico. Findings point to research and policy priorities, including examining the long-term impacts of migration and health policies on SRH service availability, evaluating alternative delivery models, analyzing the role of media in shaping public opinion, and involving UITMW and local stakeholders in policy development. Addressing these gaps could improve SRH outcomes for UITMW and strengthen the broader health system response for both migrant and local populations.
