title: [The low-birth-weight newborn. The training of mothers for care at home].
abstract: In March 1989 the sub-program for reducing low birth-weight was put into practice. As a response to the application of this subsystem a plan was started at the Northern Maternal Hospital in Santiago de Cuba aimed at training these children's mothers in relation to techniques for caring babies. By means of the sources used some aspects regarding these newborn children were assessed, as well as the achievements of the mothers in the course during their hospitalization. The results showed the effectiveness of this plan, the advantages of its being adopted by nurses and its great social significance.
