Structural barriers to prenatal care for migrant women at the United States–Mexico border: a qualitative study

This study underscores the structural and systemic barriers shaping maternal healthcare delivery in humanitarian border settings. Improving care for pregnant migrants will require comprehensive policy reform, strategic resource allocation, and rights-based, cross-border approaches. Future research should engage migrant communities and local providers to develop responsive models that bridge the gap between inclusive policy and frontline care.

Abstract

This study underscores the structural and systemic barriers shaping maternal healthcare delivery in humanitarian border settings. Improving care for pregnant migrants will require comprehensive policy reform, strategic resource allocation, and rights-based, cross-border approaches. Future research should engage migrant communities and local providers to develop responsive models that bridge the gap between inclusive policy and frontline care.
