[Immigrant women and health services. Experience with hospital obstetric-gynecologic department (1992-94)].
In order to know more about immigrant women who have applied for obstetrical and gynaecological care and the results of these requests, data on those admitted have been analyzed at the obstetric and gynaecological ward of the general hospital of Perugia during the period from July 1992 to June 1994. The following observations were made: a) African and eastern european women comprised the group that most frequently applied for abortion; b) the percentage of cesarean sections was lower among foreign women than Italians women; c) with respect to average of all immigrant admitted for obstetrical pathologies, the largest group, according to the area of origin, was comprised of women from Africa and it was decided that the quality of obstetrical assistance received by this group should be verified.
