| Sumario: | The investigation starts with the identification of the geographical points that present risks to the health of the Central American migrant population in their passage through Mexico to the United States, given the political and insecurity conditions that currently characterize the area. Also, the resilience and self-care practices promoted by the actors linked to the migration process (migrants, institutions, civil society organizations) are identified under a conceptualization of solidarity that is not uniform - or is free from conflicts. The meanings and solidarity practices that they have developed around health and disease are analyzed at the same time that this phenomenon has transformed their life experience. Data collection was carried out from 2015 to 2018 at Casa del Migrante de Saltillo, through nine semi-structured interviews applied to its administrators, 2 focus groups conducted with its volunteers, 3 focus groups carried out with migrants and a survey applied to forty-seven migrants. |
