The Priorité Santé team is in Cuba, recording 3 shows. The first is devoted to maternal and newborn health in the largest island in the Caribbean. Until 2018, the Caribbean state recorded infant mortality rates close to those of France or Canada. But these figures have deteriorated sharply in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. As the 23rd Congress of the Cuban Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology has come to an end, in the capital we meet caregivers, gynecologists, midwives, pediatricians, to describe the follow-up and care of pregnancies and births in the country, in hospitals as well as in primary care centres. Are there specificities in terms of birth support? What management of anemia in pregnant women? What policy to fight once morest teenage pregnancies in Cuba? How are the shortages in the country affecting public health, and what strategies are in place to address them? ► Report within the obstetrics department of the Gonzalez Coro Hospital in Havana, in the Dr Abelardo Ramirez Marquez University Polyclinic, with a family doctor, but also young mothers, on the sidelines of the gynecology-obstetrics congress . A long format report by Caroline Paré, Ophélie Lahccen and Nicolas Benita
