Nuevitas, 2025.- The Maternal and Child Care Program in Nuevitas pays special attention to pregnant adolescents because they constitute a risk that leads to biological and social complications.
Actions from the primary health level were increased in this coastal municipality in the northeast of Camagüey to guide women regarding the risks of teenage pregnancy.
The school and the family play a key role in this respect. From an early age, values that promote appropriate habits and behaviors should be encouraged in order to recognize the frustrations that come with the conception of a baby at such an early stage of life.
Likewise, the physician's preventive work in the community is vital to counter pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections in the locals at young ages.
Once gestation is confirmed and the decision to assume the process responsibly is made, the professionals linked to the program provide timely guidance to expectant mothers through physical examinations, complementary tests and ultrasounds.
