Abstract
IRONS, Rebecca. Venezuelan women’s perception of sexual and reproductive health services in Lima, Peru. Rev. perú. med. exp. salud publica [online]. 2021, vol.38, n.2, pp.248-253. Epub June 30, 2021. ISSN 1726-4634. http://dx.doi.org/10.17843/rpmesp.2021.382.6217.
Objectives:
To know the perception of Venezuelan women about sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in Lima, Peru.
Materials and methods:
This study had a qualitative methodological approach; 50 migrant women in Lima and three obstetricians who provide SRH care by the United Nations Population Fund were interviewed, information was collected from July to December 2019. The SRH service in Lima was analyzed using the theory of “reproductive governance”.
Results:
Migrant women seek reproductive health and contraceptive information from pharmacists and pharmacies. There is an information deficit on free SRH care, concerns about lack of health insurance, cost barriers, and their migration status.
Conclusions:
“Reproductive governance” could be employed by pharmacists to support migrant women and to inform about public SRH services available in Lima.
