Official data on deaths of pregnant women due to Covid-19<\/a> show 145% more cases in Brazil than in the United States.<\/span><\/p>

While on American territory the The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 55 deaths last week between January and September<\/a>, in Brazil, 135 were confirmed by the federal government until August 1st \u2013 more than half of them involving women in the third trimester of pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>

The overview of mortality among Brazilian women was presented by the Secretary of Primary Health Care of the Ministry of Health, Raphael Parente, in a public hearing in early August<\/a>. Parente recalled at the hearing that maternal mortality is a chronic problem in Brazil, now exposed by the pandemic. And he assured that reducing the indicator is a policy of the current government.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Risks<\/strong><\/p>

An American study published in June \u2013 cited in a note by the CDC \u2013 suggests that pregnant women with Covid-19 are more likely than non-pregnant women to be hospitalized, to need an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and to receive mechanical ventilation. The risk of death appears to be similar for both groups, but the topic is still the subject of studies.<\/span><\/p>

In Brazil, the deaths of pregnant and postpartum women have been gaining media coverage with cases multiplying, <\/span>generally in hospitals that do not have an ICU, outside the hospital environment or when there was less than 12 hours of hospitalization, according to the government.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Santos Dumont Institute has mapped at least 110 suspected or confirmed cases of deaths highlighted by the media between March 21 and September 18. Thirteen of these have been reported since the beginning of August, when the most recent official data was released. The stories became the subject of news portals and TV channels in the country between August 2 and September 18.<\/span><\/p>
