Abstract

The Family Health Program (PSF) was established in 1994 in order to reorganize the structure of the Brazilian health system, with the purpose of comprehensive care and the impact on major health problems. It consists of teams that minimum develops actions for the spontaneous and planned. Among the actions is the monitoring of prenatal care. We observe that when prenatal care to low risk was decentralized to the Family Health Strategy (FHS) one of the goals was to facilitate the access of pregnant ace health actions. This study aims to conduct a literature review on the topic prenatal linking him to child morbidity and mortality. This is a bibliographic narrative. The model of primary care Family Health Strategy has contributed significantly in the improvements achieved in prenatal care. The early uptake, availability of care and the educational activities developed by the teams have helped reduce the rates of maternal and infant mortality. Several studies indicate that a prenatal quality prevents low birth weight and prematurity, culminating in the reduction of infant mortality. Studies also indicate that the sooner started prenatal care and the better the assistance provided, the lower the gestational complications such as hypertension, preeclampsia and preterm labor. The reduction of maternal and neonatal mortality is a challenge for Brazil and Brazilians, since these preventable deaths reach populations with less access to social goods. Want thus, improve the level of care during pregnancy, betting on an awareness so that they can, and keep a better monitoring of the pregnancy itself, can feel secure in the care of baby and act as multipliers of knowledge, interfering with to friends, family and neighbors.
