Estrategias comunitarias de atención sanitaria en espacios transnacionales: migrantes sinaloenses residentes en California
Community-based Healthcare Strategies in Transnational Spaces: Sinaloan Migrants Living in California

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the conditions of vulnerability and risk faced by transnational migrant communities in their search for survival. Specifically, it addresses community-based health care strategies implemented by migrants from Sinaloa, Mexico, with destination communities settled in Southern California, United States. The study includes ethnographic work in the origin and destination locations, including interviews with community physicians, patients and key informants, such as community leaders, medication providers, and other health care-related services, particularly in destination locations where what we have termed an “undocumented transnational health system” operates.
