Derived from the National Development Plan 2019-2024, the main planning instrument of the public administration, and in compliance with the provisions of the Planning Law, the 2019-2024 Sectorial Health Program was prepared, which is aligned with the national priorities which seeks to reach the Government of the Republic, through the establishment of six objectives, 39 strategies and 274 lines of action.
An achievement related to Objective 4. "Closing the gaps in health between different social groups and regions of the country" is the downward trend in indicators of infant mortality and maternal mortality. It describes the actions that the sector has carried out in a coordinated manner for the care of the obstetric emergency and highlights the increase in the incorporation to the Popular Insurance of pregnant women to have immediate access to health services.
In Chiapas there is a high number of women suffering from short-term or long-term illnesses, attributable to pregnancy, childbirth or the puerperium, which put the lives of women and newborns at risk. Some of these women end in death and many of those who survive suffer injuries and disabilities, which often have lifelong consequences.
Maternal morbidity (MM) is an indicator closely associated with maternal death and is considered a valid alternative to use as an indicator of the quality of maternal care.
In accordance with the emerging plan for the containment of maternal and perinatal mortality, there is a need to perform an analysis of maternal morbidity that allows identifying the risk factors present in pregnant women and the complications that may occur during the puerperium, with the purpose to avoid new cases of death. According to the definition provided by the Latin American Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FLASOG), extremely severe or severe maternal morbidity is known as "the serious complication that occurs during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium, which puts a woman's life at risk or requires of immediate attention in order to avoid death. "
Epidemiological surveillance of maternal morbidity is one of the strategies proposed within the PAHO / WHO regional actions to improve maternal health and reduce maternal mortality by three quarters in 2015 as one of the Objectives of Sustainable Development (SDG), as set by the goal of objective 3.1 to reduce the global maternal mortality rate to less than 70 per 100,000 live births.
For this reason, this program emerges as a contribution to epidemiological surveillance for the reduction of maternal mortality in Chiapas.
