Abstract

The prenatal care has a protective effect for maternal and neonatal health. Through situational diagnosis of the coverage area by the Family Health Strategy Primeiro de Maio in the municipality of Itamarandiba in Minas Gerais, it was observed that there was low adherence to prenatal care. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop an action plan to increase adherence to prenatal care of pregnant women of the coverage area by the Family Health Strategy Primeiro de Maio. The methodology is carried out in three stages: situational diagnosis; literature review and action plan. In this study we selected the following critical node: ineffective family planning; lack of health education for teenagers; lack of interest from health professionals in performing prenatal care and; low share of exams available by official Public Health System (SUS) during prenatal care. Based on these critical nodes were proposed the following actions to oppose: creation of projects "Plan for a better future" to encourage participation in family planning; "Everything a teen needs to know" in order to increase the level of information for teens about teen pregnancy; "Prenatal care" to motivate professionals to perform the prenatal and; "Safe pregnancy" to improve the structure of the service for the care of pregnant women. It is hoped that this action plan be able to increase adherence to prenatal care in the coverage area by the Family Health Strategy Primeiro de Maio.
