Abstract

Introduction: the reduction of maternal and child mortality is an international and national priority due to the high potential for the avoidability of these deaths. The Maternal, Fetal, and Infant Death Prevention Committees (Comitês de Prevenção de Óbitos Maternos, Fetais e Infantis) are an important mechanism for monitoring maternal and child mortality. Objective: to evaluate the structure, processes, and results of death prevention committees in the municipalities of the Regional Health Unit (Unidade Regional de Saúde) of Belo Horizonte-MG according to the population size. Method: this is an evaluative study developed at the Belo Horizonte Health Region in 2015. We applied a questionnaire to the municipal technical references responsible for monitoring maternal, fetal and infant deaths. We analyzed the municipalities to the adequacy to national and state norms, in the domains structure, process and result, according to categories of the population size. We added the appropriate items were added for the assessment of each domain, establishing an adequacy score. Results: we evaluated 38 municipalities and various levels of the adequacy of the committees were found, with the worst percentages for the structure (5.3% as adequate) and the smaller municipalities. In the process and result domains, the adequacy percentage was 30.6%. Conclusion: the inadequacies revealed the need to structure the municipal committees with the provision of financial, technical and professional investments, to optimize their operational capacity and response to the deaths. The expansion of the technical and political actions of the committees and social control is another necessary improvement.
