Inequities in maternal postnatal visits among public and private patients: 2004 Pelotas cohort study
BMC Public Health, 09/23/09

Matijasevich A et al. – Postpartum care is available for every woman free of charge in the Brazilian Publicly–funded health care system. However, low levels of postpartum care were seen in the study (77%). Efforts should be made to increase the percentage of women receiving postpartum care, particularly those in socially disadvantaged groups. This could include locally–adapted health education interventions that address women's beliefs and attitudes towards postpartum care. There is a need to monitor postpartum care and collected data should be used to guide policies for health care systems.
