Thirty more teenage pregnancies than in the previous period, reinforce the prominence of this as one of the main health problems facing Las Tunas, with 18 percent for every 100 pregnant women, and call the authorities of the Maternal and Child Care Program (PAMI by its acronym in Spanish) to immediate intervention strategies in communities with higher incidences.
