Florida, Feb. 26 – The Public Health system of the municipality of Florida has drawn up a work strategy in order to reverse, in the current stage, the negative indicators of the performance of the Maternal and Child Care Program (PAMI in spanish) recorded here at the end of the previous calendar.
For the current calendar, the General Directorate of Health and all its departments are strengthening alliances and work systems with the rest of the social actors in the territory in order to slow down the decrease in the birth rate, bring the morbidity-mortality rate in children under one year of age as close as possible to zero and reduce the low birth weight rate.
The promoters, leaders and defenders of such a significant program in Florida will also strive to achieve more than 95 percent effectiveness in the early detection of pregnancy, prevent this phenomenon in adolescents and enhance the impact of the benefits of the medical assistance provided by the Maternity Home in cases of risk to the pregnant woman and the fetus, among other purposes.
Each of these commitments reflects the will of the State and the Cuban social system to place, mainly, the health and quality of life of the pregnant woman, the mother and the newborn, and to guarantee as much as possible the happiness and well-being of Floridian families.
