The Mother-Child Healthcare Program in San Antonio de los Baños shows favorable rates. Yamilet Borrego, director of Public Health, said that for more than two years there have been no deaths of children under one year of age. The birth rate increases in the municipality.
Iván Portuondo Hospital is a provincial reference center in terms of Neonatology and Perinatology services. The specialist emphasized the importance of childcare consultations. The quality of pregnancy is an important aspect for a happy delivery and for the health of newborns.
An interesting aspect that is shown in the territory is the increase in teenage pregnancy. The specialists analyze this situation due to the risks involved in pregnancy during this stage of life in which the woman is not yet responsible enough to assume motherhood.
However, pregnant women and children receive a careful attention that enables their well-being and that of the whole family.
