“…Recognizing the health inequalities combined with a discussion on the territorialization of preventable child deaths and the underlining causes of preventable deaths in the municipalities of this study can contribute to an understanding of infant mortality, limits and possibilities of health actions [14], and can provide health professionals with awareness of the existing inequality among the different regions of the municipalities. Although the studied municipalities have lower infant mortality coefficients when compared to other municipalities in different regions of Brazil (9.5, 14.3 and 11.3 deaths per thousand live births in Maringá, Sarandi and Paiçandu, respectively, between 2004 and 2008), adequate prenatal measures and care measures during delivery and neonatal stages, such as improving service and organization and arranging services in networks, would represent 195 child deaths that could be prevented during the study period, as these deaths were classified as preventable according to an analysis by the IMPC.…”

“…It´s important to note that popula onal health surveys were developed in industrialized countries in the 1960´s as instruments for formula ng and evalua ng public policies, as well as making it possible to collect data for construc ng indicators associated with health and not just illness, such as risk factors and the social determinants of the health-illness process, while being fast to apply with a reasonable cost-benefi t ra o (41) . In this study, many used popula onal surveys to iden fy the rela onship between living condi ons, infant mortality and health inequali es (12,14,18,24,34) .…”
