With only 20 years old and facing a sudden opportunity in the capital, we find Irina coming from the city of Iquitos with thirteen weeks of pregnancy.

As we meet Irina, we quickly notice that because of the sudden events in her life, she is having emotional and physiological changes that are causing in her organism dehydration and desnutrición, which has led her to weigh 9 kilos less than her regular weight.

A evidence of what was happening, the Maternal and Child Health program of Socios En Salud, managed to integrate her to the sessions for the care of her pregnancy. She for her part, with a little mistrust, but with the motivation to give health to her baby has been getting involved to such an extent that she is already recovering weight, has more energy and in her last checkup with the gynecologist she was given recommendations to continue her gestation with good nutrition.

With this pleasant news, Irina and her partner, continuously attend the psychoprophylaxis sessions. Both of them are very involved in participating in the demonstrative activities of exclusive nutrition for pregnant women and in the healthy thoughts therapies. The latter is a project that seeks to give psycho-emotional peace of mind to families that for various social, economic or clinical reasons go through a stage, which requires accompaniment.

The beginning of a life is part of our mission to make a healthy community and to give quality health having a preferential option.
