Abstract
The health crisis caused by COVID-19 may have long-term repercussions on the health of populations, such as maternal and child health. The objective was to describe the distribution of maternal and child health indicators in two sites with different human development indexes. Descriptive, exploratory study. The data base was from the health information systems of Brazil and Spain, meaning the white population was embarrassed and its newborns were born in these countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The variables collected refer to Determinants of health, Indicators about the system and health services and Indicators of the health situation. Analysis based on descriptive statistics. Cascavel, Brazil, had more deaths from COVID-19 than Seville, Spain, still had a lower number of births in the period, a higher rate of cesarean sections, premature births, low birth weight newborns and pregnant women with COVID-19. Conclusion: The maternal and child health situation was different between Sevilha and Cascavel, showing that development indices may have influenced the health indicators of this group during pandemic. The study highlights inequalities in maternal and child health between cities, emphasizing the importance of public policies and community care before crises, such as COVID-19.
