In 2009 he returned to climb the Infant Mortality Rate
06/06/2010 | It was 10.8 per thousand, when in 2008 was 8.9 per thousand. Not achieved the goal of keeping the rate below double digits. Still, Zarate is still among the top five districts Health Region V.
In the province infant mortality rate is 12.4 per thousand. Doctors say it is important the relationship between mother and child.
Infant Mortality Rate in Z?rate again exceeded double digits. According to the report issued by the Ministry of Health of the province of Buenos Aires, Zarate is an infant mortality of 10.8 per thousand, nearly two points higher than the rate of 2008.
In March 2009, the then municipal secretary of Health, Roberto Sciarretta, had announced that infant mortality in the district had fallen from 16.9 per thousand scandalous to 8.9 per thousand in 2008. Back then, when officials were pleased with the significant achievement, the technicians of the area claimed that the difficulty would be to keep that percentage because the descent was very abrupt.
And they were not wrong. During 2009 there were, according to the official report, 2325 births, of whom 25 died before completing one year of life. And of those 25 deaths, 21 did so before reaching 28 days of life.
On the other hand, the birth rate is 20.8 per thousand.
In the Health Region V, which belongs Zarate, infant mortality in 2009 was 11.5 per thousand, slightly higher than in our city.
And in the whole province of Buenos Aires, the rate is 12.4 per thousand.
Comparisons
The year 2007 was one of the worst in infant mortality statistics. 38 children died before reaching one year old out of 2243 births. The percentage was 16.9 per thousand, only surpassed in the Health Region by Joseph C. Paz, with 17 per thousand.
The 2008 results showed completely different and very positive.
Of 2,264 births died before their first birthday, 20 children. Thus, if one of the worst in Health Region V in 2007 we became an example of health policy for the rest.
And while last year the infant mortality rate rose again to almost two points, Zarate continues to be among the five districts with the lowest Infant Mortality Health Region V.
The causes of the growth of infant mortality can be varied and multiple. According to hospital sources, last year there were few cases of bronchiolitis and respiratory diseases because with the arrival of the pandemic of influenza A (H1N1) sanitary measures were followed by most of the population. However, not enough to prevent more deaths in children under one year of life.
Health Plan
In 2008 he had managed to lower the infant mortality rate after implementation of a plan carried out by the municipality, the provincial Health Ministry and Zonal Hospital Virgen del Carmen, which included a ranking of more peripheral health centers important and the reallocation of resources.
At that time, the announcement was made by the then Secretary of Health, Roberto Sciarretta (now opposition bloc Councillor PS-GEN), the Director of Primary Health Care Norberto Santana (now also removed from the municipal), associate director Zonal Hospital Virgen del Carmen and Alfredo Baroni regarding Maternal and Child Health Plan Zone V Roxana Zeballos.
The Health Plan's strategy focused on improving the relationship local peripheral Health Centers-Hospital. So he created the office reference / contrareferencia, which facilitated the collection of shifts in both the Hospital and first aid rooms and medical units. In this way, they managed to slow the relentless increase of attentions in the Provincial Hospital Virgen del Carmen, and decentralization of hospital care to primary care centers.
Also saw the arrival decreased delivery of high-risk pregnancies, improving the quantity and quality controls them. The Plan included the contribution of 500 thousand pesos by the province of Buenos Aires, money that opponents blocks are now asking what was spent, through a resolution introduced earlier this month. At that time, Sciarretta said he was pleased with the results of this first year of implementation of the Plan, but "will be positive if these are still holding at the time." But much has changed, especially in the De-partment Municipal Executive. Pri-management simply left Dr. Santana and a few months later was Dr. Sciarretta. The office of Health Secretary was vacant for several months, until taken over by Dr. Favio Crudo, who surely must adjust what so far had done well and build on what they have done little. It will not be easy. According to the Life Plan of 2009, Zarate is 9500 children younger than 6 who receive social assistance and which is moti-1800 is at risk.
