Abstract

SINASC’S data were the basis to develop the profiles of newborn and mothers resident in cities which have the Health Regional Headquarters; these profiles were analyzed by the light of variables that might indicate some health disadvantages. In these cities, on average, 19,4% of mothers were teenagers, 35,9% had poor education; 26,4% had not enough prenatal consultations and 55% of the baby deliveries were performed by a C-section. Cities in Parana State are heterogeneous, with some highlights to Guarapuava, Paranaguá and Umuarama which have high indication of risks for the mother and the baby. These results show that some cities need more resources and specific, decentralized and integrated public policies, involving their managers, health professionals and organized social movements, in order to mitigate health inequalities among population, specially women and children.
