Our project seek to gain knowledge about the use of health services among pregnant women without a residence permit in Norway, what maternity care they receive and the pregnancy complications and pregnancy outcomes they experience.

We do this by first looking at women`s use of two NGO clinics for undocumented migrants in Bergen and Oslo during pregnancy and their follow-up at three local hospitals. Secondly we look at the use of primary care emergency services in Oslo. Thirdly we use register data from the Medical Birth Register to compare women without social security numbers with Norwegian-born and foreign-born with social security numbers.

The project will create a knowledge base for the future primary health care service in Norway and Norway's commitment to follow-up of the UN's sustainability goals regarding universal health care.
