The objective was to describe, through key points of indigenous health care, what has changed after the implementation of the National Health Care Policy for Indigenous Peoples. For this, the research method chosen was the literature review with a qualitative approach of the results. The studies that composed the sample were retrieved from the SciELO and PubMed databases, from May to August 2018. The results point to the deficiency of training of professionals of the Multidisciplinary Team of Indigenous Health (EMSI) in the context of interethnic relations; the need to define the functions of Indigenous Health Agents (IHA) within EMSI; the good acceptance by indigenous peoples and EMSI regarding biomedical and traditional indigenous treatments, respectively; in addition to the food deficiency of the Indigenous Health Care Information System. That said, there should be trainings in the scope of interethnic action for EMSI and IHA with clear definition of each one’ roles within EMSI, especially the IHA.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the prior knowledge of pregnant women about neonatal care. Methods: We chose an exploratory method with a qualitative approach, developed with 10 pregnant women, in a non-governmental organization in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. Data collection was performed through a semi-structured interview with questions about primary care for newborns. Results: In the analysis of the speech emerged the most questionable issues regarding the primary care to the newborn, being carried out health education activities clarifying such practices. Conclusion: It may be noted that the prior knowledge of pregnant women about neonatal care was empirical and limited. Thus,health teaching activities provided a moment of discussion and clarification of doubts.
