La PASS Gynécologie, une aide importante quand j’étais enceinte
Racism in the workplace and the veil that prevents you from working
- CAF (Caisse d'allocations familiales/Family Allowances Fund)
- CPAM Canébière (Caisse primaire d'assurance maladie/Primary health insurance fund)
When I arrived on my own, I was taken in by a friend. I was six months pregnant and I started to take the necessary steps to register the pregnancy and apply for child benefit from the CAF, as well as activating health cover with the CPAM.
I was pregnant at the time and went straight to the Hôpital de la Conception for pregnancy monitoring. The PASS Gynaecology service helps people who don’t have a Carte Vitale. At the time, I didn’t have a social security number, so they helped me to get AME (Aide Médicale de l’Etat), a medical service for a month while I waited for my Carte Vitale. I monitored my pregnancy there, and was able to meet a social worker. I told her about my search for accommodation, and she helped me to get the addresses I needed to find suitable accommodation, and to prepare my CAF application.
