Florida, Aug. 10 – How to make social, institutional and community work more efficient in the prevention of adolescent pregnancy? How much responsibility do families have in the persistence of this phenomenon? Are the spaces and channels available to warn about the risks of pregnancy before reaching sexual and reproductive maturity effectively used?
These and other questions are part of the agenda of concerns and tasks of the Maternal and Child Care Program (PAMI) of the municipality of Florida, a territory where there is a high number of pregnant women under 19 years of age, including several who are still in their childhood.
According to the information provided by Dr. Maideli Cisneros Armenteros, PAMI’s main advisor at the Florida Public Health Department, one of the current priorities of that office is aimed at protecting the quality of life of the 45 adolescents who are expecting to give birth in the coming months.
In this sense, the call for family, community and mother-to-be responsibility in pregnancy care is maintained, under the watchful eye and participation of the rest of the actors, organizations and social groups that assume tasks in support of the Maternal and Child Care Program in this Camagüey area.
