Description
Analysis has shown disturbing background design data on the lifestyle of the young generation, and indicate a lowering of the age of sexual initiation, and a corresponding increase in the proportion of pregnancies among minors. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the education of young women. More than half of Polish women become pregnant by accident. Medical consultation before pregnancy reaches only 1% of expectant mothers. Malformations are one of the main causes of infant deaths (32%) and approx. 3% of children born with malformations.
