Translating Priorities Into Practice: Midwifery Care for Uninsured Migrant Populations Across Canada.

Background: Immigrants and newcomers are identified by many provincial midwifery associations as "priority populations." Recently, newcomer populations have shifted considerably, with more people coming to Canada with precarious immigration status who are increasingly ineligible for public healthcare insurance and facing barriers to accessing care. Our aims were to: (1) gain an understanding of the policies related to equitable access to midwifery care and how they may apply to migrant groups without public healthcare insurance and (2) identify existing policy themes, gaps, and regulatory barriers that limit access for this vulnerable population in Canada.
