Abstract
Even though the health-care problem has been analyzed by the field of study of migration, there are still few studies that address how health systems respond to the health care of migrant women. This article analyzes health care team’s opinions on Bolivian migrant women in the province of Mendoza, Argentina. This is an exploratory and descriptive study based on in-depth interviews and focus groups on health professionals. The study shows different types of approaches that vary between those where practices of discipline and control are reproduced towards others where the socio-historical conditions behind women’s health processes as well as the cultural, labour and gender factors that affected them in the migratory context are taking into account.
