In Contramaestre, a matter of total follow-up within the Maternal and Child Care Program (PAMI by its Spanish name) is adolescent pregnancy, since the analysis of the subject reveals that in the territory there are quite a few parents in the middle of adolescence.
The PAMI, even though some may think so, does not begin and end only with children under one year of age or with pregnant women, but also covers children and adolescents up to 18 years of age, women of childbearing age and infertile couples.
Adolescent pregnancy should be prevented from home
According to Dr. Yuandra Hung Tabares, Director of Public Health in Contramaestre, adolescent pregnancy will not be solved with educational talks, even though they are essential, or with curricular subjects, the prevention should start at home to avoid that in the end, the adolescent daughter becomes an alarm number or worse, two lives at risk.
The physician commented on the risks of teenage pregnancy, saying that they are very high, as the baby can be born with malformations, the teenage mother has a high risk of suffering from preeclampsia and eclampsia, and the probability of maternal mortality is much higher, in addition to the risk of miscarriages.
