Much has been said about the benefits of good information about pregnancy for women in disadvantaged situations. The Health Institute NIGZ Erfocentrum and now have joined forces and have beaten their knowledge and experience in this field used. They look back on a successful education project for migrant women. The project, short for Healthy Pregnant Immigrants called, was intended to inform immigrants about the possibilities for research and guidance on pregnancy. Health and pregnancy, heredity, prenatal testing and the heel prick were discussed here. Particular attention was paid to immigrants from specific hereditary diseases. The information is explicitly embedded in the information chain around pregnancy. Healthy Pregnancy for the design of Immigrants has proved effective for immigrant women to reach the necessary information about the pregnancy. The project therefore is a good practice.
Netherlands has high infant mortality and various vulnerable groups
This project is significant because the Netherlands has highest infant mortality in Europe. Research confirms that Turkish, Moroccan and Antillean and Surinamese populations in the Netherlands at increased risk of infant mortality. It seems insufficient knowledge of risk factors and the care to play a role. Timely and complete information can quickly here provide a good start. The Board Pregnancy and Birth emphasized in its report that information to women in disadvantaged situations of great importance.

All this specific target material was developed by the Institute of Health and Erfocentrum NIGZ based on their knowledge of and experience with health education information.
It turned out that pregnancy and heredity are important issues for many immigrants. The talks were far off the target. And they provided information on which the information in the future can be further improved. Example by midwives and doctors to indicate knowledge gaps and misunderstandings that can arise in communication between caregiver and care recipient.Some quotes: "The course I heard about the experiences of other women. I was happy. Now I know I'm not the only one who finds it hard to say what I feel and what I want. "And:" I had never heard of folic acid. I always swallow vitamins, I thought that was enough. "
