Pré-natal odontológico no município de São Borja-RS na perspectiva do indicador 3 do programa Previne Brasil

Abstract

The study proposes an analysis of the performance of oral health teams in São Borja/RS, focusing on the results of indicator 3 of the Previne Brasil program, specifically aimed at the oral health of pregnant women. The methodology adopted involved an objective and quantitative assessment of the quality of services provided, aiming to identify areas for improvement and establish priorities to improve the organization of care and expand oral health coverage for pregnant women, considering the importance of this indicator for promoting maternal health -infant care and reducing complications during pregnancy and childbirth. By emphasizing indicator 3 and its relevance for the oral health of pregnant women, the work highlights the need for specific public policies and targeted strategies to guarantee comprehensive and effective care during this period. The result of the municipality's general indicator, in the period analyzed, highlights the significant improvement from the first four months of 2023, reaching the excellent category. However, the indicators of the Family Health Strategy units present variations, both between units and within the same unit in different four-month periods. This highlights the need for analysis and continuous monitoring, in addition to improvements in human and material resources. It is worth highlighting that this monitoring is essential not only to monitor the performance of oral health teams in the municipality, but also to support actions to improve the care provided to pregnant women, contributing to the health and well-being of both mother and baby.
