To improve maternity care services for migrants in Switzerland several measures have been taken in the past, e.g. Hospitals for Equity, promotion of transcultural skills, written multilingual health information and interpreter services in hospitals. The availability of comparable measures in outpatient or home care services is rather an exception. One example is the midwives network "FamilyStart", an outpatient institution that offers a helpline and home visiting services for mothers and thier newborns. It collaborates with the National Telephone Interpreter Service.
