The texts of the book are instructive
and educational because readers receive
information and knowledge about real
health problems confronted by migrant
women and the health system.
The monograph’s authors have already
presented their ideas to their colleagues,
students and the public. They were all
able to assess the practical application of
material in the book and use it to define
their own place and role in contacts with
those in need of professional and human
help.

The publication of a book forms part of
the Integra project. The added value of
this volume lies in its unique and innova-
tive content that seeks to enhance health
professionals’ knowledge and cross-border
cooperation. The monograph benefits
from the input of internationally well-re-
garded researchers in the field of sexual
and reproductive healthcare, which make
it particularly valuable. The book builds
on the results of a literature search, origi-
nal research and well-established good
practices and guidelines. The topics range
from cultural competencies, health edu-
cation, barriers to healthcare, social inte-
gration through to migrant women’s
perspectives on sexual and reproductive
health issues. The various chapters may
be seen as a comprehensive, consistent
and logical whole that includes a variety
of evidence-based guidelines as part of an
interdisciplinary approach.
This volume is able to inform health
professionals, researchers and policymak-
ers in their efforts to ensure adequate
healthcare for migrant women and their
families. As such, we strongly believe this
publication holds the potential to
promote inclusive transcultural health-
care across Europe.
