Prenatal Care Access Among Immigrant Latinas

An estimated 56% of low-income Latina immigrants of reproductive age are uninsured in the United States. Even those insured still have limited access to culturally competent and linguistically appropriate care, as well as important reproductive health information. Due to this many Latinas forgo vital preventative care including prenatal care. Expanding access to prenatal care services to all Latinas is a key aspect of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health.
