The paper will discuss the removal of barriers in accessing health services, addressing the issues around limited to no prenatal care, addressing history of Aboriginal people and health disparities, optimizing prenatal care and alleviate problems with pregnancy and the implications in nursing. Will this topic fit in with your call for papers? Thanks for your consideration Sherri Di Lallo (s)MN, RN Hi
