Why hasn't Sra. Fernandez or someone started a "Head Start" program? As an example, this is what the prenatal care program for poor women in the USA is called.
It is one of the cheapest government programs to run also AFAIK.
Head Start is not a prenatal program. It is a preschool program for 4 & 5 year old children.
Speaking of which infant mortality in the US isnt that high for a "civilized country".
Infant mortality is high at that hospital SOLELY because of inferior medical care from incompetent professionals. People have been birthing for thousands of years in many different situations, diets, activities, climates, and locations so it cant be them being poor.
I have a friend who for the past 3 weeks has had kidney stones and I asked her if she was drinking enough water and she says 8-10 vasos al dia. And then I ask her if she is eating something with excessive calcuim or magnesuim in it. She says she is taking calcium tablets for her and her kids. But yet she has been to the doctor 3 times now and again 6 months back in March when she had the kidney stones before. BUT it never dawned on her doctor that reason she was having kidney stones was because of the overabundance of calcio in her blood, from the supplements?
Why do I have to tell her that in order to drop the kidney stones she has to lay off the pills? What kind of doctor is this? And if this guy is a nephrologist or even a general practitioner who cannot read a blood test that specifies her bloodwork is way out of the range, what good is he? As well as, what kind of idiot prescribes medication without knowing if the patient is using something else, conflicting with or counterindicative of what he prescribes?
Now, I propose that Ob/Gyns and Pediatricians are just as incompetent as the GP/Nephrologist I described above. Which is why they are working in a public hospital versus a private clinic. And this contributes to the large quantity of infants that have died.
