Health education to Moroccan immigrants

Abstract

The increase of multiculturality in our country is not only a future social trend but a fact. The aim of this work is to attain an approach to the knowledge of Moroccan immigrants’ life conditions and attitudes towards health and illness, and to see how it all influences the results of our Health Education interventions. As health professionals we face a new challenge: interacting with immigrants socialized in other cultures different from ours. Perhaps for the time being we count on little experience on this field- that is why it is particularly important to share our own experiences as a mean to reflect and learn from one another. We also verify that economic aspects are put before health care.
