About this document

Maternal and Child Health in Brazil by felipe is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Brazil has seen significant improvements in maternal and child health over the past 3 decades. Infant mortality rates have declined substantially, falling by over 5% annually in the 1980s and 1990s and over 4% annually since 2000. Stunting among children under 5 has decreased from 37% to 7% during this period. Access to maternal and child health interventions has increased sharply, reducing regional and socioeconomic inequalities. However, challenges remain such as high rates of C-sections and preterm birth
