“…Although the effectiveness and quality of care provided was not assessed in this study, when comparing the use of the SUS by the Brazilian population, that by migrant women was almost three times greater than that reported for residents of the North region in the 2019 National Health Survey [ 15 ]. Communication barriers due to cultural and linguistic differences between migrants and health professionals were identified by the qualitative study of this project [ 26 ], which was also verified with Bolivian migrants in other Brazilian cities [ 39 , 40 ].

However, obtaining the National Health Card, often provided as part of the Operation Welcome/ Operação Acolhida, is needed for the effective access to healthcare facilities and services [ 39 ] .Given that the right to health is safeguarded by Constitution as a right for all, and given the deterioration of health conditions and services in Venezuela since 2014, it is likely that access to health services explain why this was the second reason given by the Venezuelan women for fleeing to Brazil; a fact that becomes more significant considering the high number of women who migrated pregnant. Yet, migration between countries in the global South generates demands on already precarious social and health systems that are rarely adequately equipped to respond to the internal needs of their populations, with a lack of infrastructure, personnel and equipment.…”
