Uma visão contemporânea de desempenho de políticas públicas de prevenção à mortalidade infantil em Cuiabá – MT

Abstract

Health and health care dominate the economic and political scenario in Brazil and in many countries. On the other hand, the issue of health has been presented in the country, and more specifically in Mato Grosso, without the proper association of development policies and social programs, which, in turn, ensure the well-being of the population. The city of Cuiabá lives in constant economic and demographic growth, but this growth is not linked to its development, since a large part of the population does not have access to at least basic health conditions. The work aims to seek to relate public policies, related to health, implemented and aimed at the children's area. The methodology used was based on compilation and subsequent exploratory bibliographic analysis (quantitative-qualitative) of the scientific production in the area. What is observed is that the infant mortality rate in Cuiabá has been mitigated in a special way due to the decrease in mortality after the so-called neonatal period, which ends up being a reflection of the improvement in basic assistance to the infant contingent and factors related to conditions environmental environment.
