This paper aims to analyze the case of a midwifery clinic providing free healthcare services to migrant communities in Tijuana, México. The clinic's services are characterized by the assemblage of diverse knowledge about care, including allopathic medicine, indigenous medicine, and acupuncture. One objective is to analyze how healthcare service providers, including midwives and acupuncture specialists, work together to provide integrated healthcare. The purpose is to discuss their understanding of integrative medicine, how they have shaped this in practice, and the achievements and limitations they have experienced in the process.
