Infant Mortality Rate Drops in Central Cuba |
|
|
Monday, September 25, 2017
Havana.- The central Cuban province of Sancti Spiritus reported a major decrease in the infant mortality rate from January to date.
According to statistics from the sector, that indicator was 1.95 deaths per every 1,000 live births, the lowest among children under one year of age in the country.
Nationwide, the infant mortality rate is 4.2 deaths per every 1,000 live births and authorities are working to reduce it to four or less by the end of this year.
In order to achieve that goal, pre-conception and reproductive risks have to be reduced, congenital malformations have to be detected in an early stage of pregnancy and extra-hospital abortions and childbirths must be prevented.
Furthermore, health professionals, nurses and technicians do an excellent work in that direction.
