Florida, Nov 24 - This year, the municipality of Florida shows good results in the Mother-Child Attention Program (PAMI), reporting only 2,8 death per 1000 live births, one of the lowest figures over the last years in this western municipality of Camaguey province.

Bachelor Marlene Sierra Escudero, in charge of PAMI in Florida, informed that up to the present, this territory accumulates 705 births with only two deceases and in high-risk cases, patients receive specialized attention in order to avoid deaths in children under one year of age.

The low infant mortality rate that Florida reports this year, 2,8 death per 1000 live births, is a result of a systematical control of doctors and other specialists, the assistance and care for the mothers before and after the childbearing, and a strict monitoring of the evolution and health of the children during their first year of life.
