“…Baseline data must be collected now for the post-2015 era. 13 Also, the WHO hopes that countries improve at least the three core indicators related to maternal-to-child transmission of syphilis in their population: ( A high level political commitment is necessary to put into practice the Regional Initiative for the Elimination of Mother-toChild Transmission of HIV and Syphilis with the support of Health Ministries. For this purpose, it is essential to strengthen the integration between programs addressing sexual and reproductive health, STDs/AIDS, maternal and child health and health surveillance, in order to maximise the use of public resources and to contribute to evidence-based decisionmaking.…”

This paper aims to describe epidemiological and programmatic characteristics related to maternal and congenital syphilis in selected countries of Latin America and Caribbean for the period 2010-12. Methods: The report is based on a multi-country, quantitative and qualitative analysis from data collected from several sources, representing a compilation of country reports from nine countries as part of the 2012 mid-term evaluation of the Strategy. Data was collected based on standardised procedures at country level. Results: Results are variable among countries. All countries have a strategic national plan to eliminate congenital syphilis, with some distinct characteristics for each country. Protocols and guidelines for the management and treatment of maternal and congenital syphilis in all countries were updated between 2011 and 2013. A high rate of missing information for all countries for some indicators was noticed. Conclusions:The main limitation of the analyses is the huge amount of missing data. Countries must continue to be supported to build capacity for collecting high-quality data on intervention coverage and inequities, and to use it as a basis for decisions about how best to reach women and children with interventions. A high level political commitment is necessary to put into practice the Regional Initiative to Eliminate Congenital Syphilis, with the support of Health Ministries.

“…With BPCR and planned supervised system, all women can receive the essential care during birth and post-birth and those mothers and babies who need special care are helped to find their way to referral well in time. Despite poor functioning health systems in low-and middle income countries [21][22][23], increased BPCR would allow women and their families to anticipate potential delays and ensure timely use of skilled care for birth and arrival at the appropriate facility in case of complications. Implementation of BP/CR interventions that focus on individuals, families and communities are intended to reduce at least the first two delays [24].…”

“…Não obstante, Figueiredo et al 3 , em uma revisão de literatura, encontrou evidências de que o aleitamento materno (AE) protege as mães de depressão pós-parto, além de melhorar os padrões de sono e vigília da mãe e da criança. Nesse sentido, estima-se que a ampliação do aleitamento materno possa prevenir 823.000 mortes de crianças e 20.000 por câncer de mama a cada ano 4 .…”

O conjunto de ações de atenção à saúde da criança implementado no eixo da assistência básica integral foi uma das determinantes da redução da mortalidade infantil no Brasil. Uma dessas ações foi o estímulo ao aleitamento materno que foi relacionado à prevenção de diversas doenças em lactantes e crianças. Por esse motivo, foi realizada uma pesquisa com método transversal descritivo com utilização de dados secundários em UBS no município de Pelotas – RS, com o objetivo de analisar temporalmente o aleitamento materno nos três primeiros meses de vida das crianças usuárias do serviço. Os dados foram obtidos das fichas espelho de puericultura da unidade e posteriormente agrupados em tabela confeccionada em Microsoft Excel 2013. A amostra foi composta por 246 crianças, nascidas entre 2011 e 2015. Não foi possível evidenciar um padrão temporal de melhora ou piora nos índices de aleitamento, uma vez que se verificou a inadequação de registros, contudo, inferiu-se que nos períodos de melhor registro, o percentual de aleitamento materno exclusivo também apresentou maiores valores. A média de aleitamento materno encontrada no período foi consonante com outros estudos realizados na Bahia, Florianópolis e Itapira (SP). No entanto, tais resultados ainda estão aquém do preconizado pela OMS, sendo verificada a necessidade de se instituir medidas que estimulem o aleitamento materno, além da realização de um melhor controle e avaliação dos serviços de saúde prestados pelo SUS na atenção primária.
