Use of Trilingual Posters as Access Technology to Prenatal of Immigrants

Immigration around the world is an important discussion to study in the context of Public Health. To Brazil, one of the biggest challenges is verbal communication to Haitian and Ghanaian immigrants, as most of them don’t speak the language of the immigrant region. Realizing the difficulty in communication and guidance within Public Health, a trilingual information poster was created to serve as a technology for access to these users and to facilitate the work of health professionals in prenatal care. The poster was produced through the performance of the Multiprofessional Residency in Public Health, of the Postgraduate Program in Public Health (PPGSCOL) present at the University of Santa Catarina (UNESC). Keywords: Public Health, Immigrants, Equity in Access to Health Services, Prenatal care.
