The multidimensionality and complexity of the phenomena of poverty and health, in this paper, are focused on the research of the impact of poverty on the position of pregnant women and newborns, the already existing vulnerable groups in health care. The impact of poverty on the health of pregnant women and newborns requires research on content-methodological perspectives in two scientific fields. The first is the field of biomedicine and health care, in which objective facts should be found that prove the impact of poverty on the medical condition of pregnant women and newborns. For this purpose, the results of the research of papers published in the medical database PUBMED, which have connected two keywords: pregnancy and poverty in their titles over the past five years, will be researched, presented, and analysed. The second field is the field of social sciences and humanities that, due to the nature of their definition, should direct health professionals to find an approach that will express moral activity towards pregnant women and newborns in conditions of poverty. In order to achieve this objective, the results of the research of papers published in the Journal of Poverty, which have also linked two keywords: pregnancy and poverty in their titles over the past five years, will be researched, presented, and analysed.
