Abstract

In 2022 and 2023, an international organization, a national foundation and a governmental agency of the province of Chaco developed a project related to intercultural maternal health that aimed to reduce the disparities in the exercise of the right to health of pregnant women, specifically, pregnant adolescents from Indigenous communities in the provinces of Chaco, Misiones and Salta. The objective of this document is to introduce the perceptions and testimonies of adolescents, young mothers and Qom community leaders on access to health, use of and access to contraceptives, and care during and after pregnancy in Pampa Grande, Pampa del Indio. To contribute to designing and implementing health policies with an intercultural perspective, two workshops were organized applying the focus group methodology in Pampa Grande, a suburban neighbourhood in Pampa del Indio.
