This activity was carried out in 2014, in the form of classroom and distance learning education and makes up a large permanent health education project, entitled "Surveillance of maternal and child health: educational action to reduce infant mortality, from the epidemiological reality of selected states." This project was prepared and implemented in a teacher partnership of the Department of Nursing, Botucatu Medical School, Universidade Estadual Paulista and by responsible parties in the Surveillance Technical Area of the Ministry of Health and the State Department of Health of São Luís. Through the qualitative approach, in the first half of 2015, 17 participants of that action were interviewed, coming from different points in the network of attention and vigilance in maternal and child health of the municipality in question.
