The city of Cuiabá has implemented various municipal initiatives to support pregnant women and early childhood development.

The ‘Laços Afetivos’ project, developed through the World Organization for Pre-School Education (OMEP), provides educational guidance on social rights, mental health, breastfeeding, and infant care. This program includes psychological monitoring for anxiety and postpartum depression, alongside the provision of baby layette kits.

Complementing these efforts, the Municipal Secretariat of Social Assistance, Human Rights, and Inclusion operates the ‘Programa Mães Cuiabana’. This initiative focuses on distributing maternity kits to mothers in the final stages of pregnancy and offering guidance on childbirth preparation, pelvic physiotherapy, and non-pharmacological pain relief during labor.
