Abstract

A retrospective descriptive study was carried out, which included the series of infant mortality according to data from the statistical records of the Granma Provincial Health Directorate for the years 2016 and 2017. The universe and sample were those born in the years 2016 and 2017, respectively. As a result, there were 476 fewer births than in 2016, infant mortality increased by 1.2; perinatal mortality increased by 0.4 more, low birth weight increased by 0.4 more, pre-school mortality decreased by 2.6, and school mortality increased by 0.5 more. We conclude that the results of the PAMI in 2017 were not generally good in the Granma province and urgent strategies must be drawn up to try to reduce the figures reached in order to obtain good results in the next year 2018.
