[Infant mortality in Cuba in the 1970-1979 decade].


 This paper discusses the 50% reduction in infant mortality achieved in Cuba during the decade 1970-1979. After an analysis of the various factors that contributed to such a reduction, it is pointed out that early neonatal mortality during that period declined by 36.2%; late neonatal mortality by 67.2%, and postnatal mortality by 59.3%. By province, the lowest mortality rates were in Matanzas (14.9%), Villa Clara (15.6%), and the city of Havana (16.2%). The highest rates were in Las Tunas (26.1%), Guantanamo (24.1%), and Granma (23.9%) in infants of 1 year of age/1000 live births. With respect to cause of death, diarrheal diseases dropped from 2nd to 6th place, with a reduction of 71.4% in mortality. As a result of decreases in other causes, congenital malformations moved up to 2nd place. Also, acute respiratory diseases were lowered by 43.4%. Furthermore, it is pointed out that 11 consultations/delivery and 6.7 checkups/healthy infant under 1 year of age were attained as an annual average. In the same decade, the birth rate declined from 27.7 to 14.7/1000 inhabitants. (author's)
