The mental health of women not only adversely affects them, but its impact on their
developing infant is also severe. If the ability of women to take care of their baby is
compromised, the survival and development of the infant is jeopardized. Maternal
depression in resource-constrained settings ...is linked directly to lower infant birth
weight, higher rates of malnutrition and stunting, higher rates of diarrhoeal disease,
infectious illness and hospital admission and reduced completion of recommended
schedules of immunization in children. It also adversely affects physical, cognitive,
social, behavioural and emotional development of children (1).

Immer wieder hören wir – in der inzwischen jahrzehntelangen
Lobbyarbeit der BAG – aus der Politik die Bitte, das Problem
der medizinischen Unterversorgung von Menschen ohne Papiere
zu „bebildern“: Wer sind diese Menschen? Wo liegen die Probleme in der gesundheitlichen Versorgung? Vor ...welchen praktischen Problemen, d.h. Sachzwängen, bürokratischen und rechtlichen Hürden stehen die Helfenden in den Anlaufstellen, die dort Hilfe leisten, wo der Zugang zum Gesundheitssystem versperrt ist?
