According to local authorities, no maternal deaths have been reported during the said period, so the isle has one of the best results in the country.

In addition, the infant mortality rate is 3.5 deaths per every 1,000 live births, including two deaths due to generalized sepsis.

The region's low-weight at birth rate is 2.9, the best result in the country, where the birth rate has decreased over the past few years.

Family planning services at polyclinics and fertility treatments have contributed to those excellent results.
