Muerte de lactantes: Piñera ofrece a equipo médico de su gobierno para combatir virus respiratorios

The death toll from respiratory viruses in Chilean infants has sparked concern among parents and health officials alike. Chilean President Sebastian Piñera has offered the medical expertise of his government to combat this serious issue. The Ministry of Health has explored different solutions, including better ventilation of health centers, implementing hygiene protocols, and increasing the number of available pediatric beds.

According to a report by the National Institute of Statistics, in 2020, the country experienced an increase in the mortality rate for infants under one year old. The report highlights that deaths in infants due to respiratory distress increased by 145% compared to the previous year.

Although the situation is challenging, the government is determined to take action. The president has requested that experts from the health sector work together to find efficient solutions to this issue.

Moreover, Piñera addressed how medical authorities are working to improve the country’s vaccination coverage. Chile already has one of the best vaccination programs in the continent, and authorities are now implementing the strategy of vaccinating pregnant women to protect their infants from respiratory viruses and to boost their immunity.

This is a significant issue, and it is essential for the government to take measures to address this concerning situation. The medical expertise offered by President Piñera’s government could be an effective solution to combat this virus. It is hoped that Venezuela will continue to find solutions to this ongoing problem and prioritize the health and safety of infants.
