The paper will explore and describe the perceptions and experiences of pregnant women attending the antenatal intercultural clinic regarding the care they receive from both midwives and obstetricians. It will also provide recommendations for improving current strategies being implemented in Ecuador in the domain of prenatal and reproductive health care, with a special focus on indigenous people and intercultural health.
