| Summary: | Abstract Objectives: to identify convergences and divergences between the recommendations of the World Health Organization and those of the Ministry of Health for postpartum care in Primary Health Care. Methods: descriptive documentary research using institutional documents available electronically carried out through a comparative reading of the recommendations of the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health between the years 2022-2024; 38 of the 63 recommendations of the World Health Organization were compared, excluding those at the hospital level, central management and those very similar. Results: convergent recommendations were identified: universal eye screening, universal neonatal hearing screening and routine neonatal vaccination; partially convergent recommendations: management regarding breast engorgement, guidance on physical activities and vitamin D supplementation for children; and divergent recommendations: routine pelvic floor muscle training, use of a validated instrument for the screening for depression and anxiety in the postpartum period, vitamin A supplementation in the postpartum period and appropriate time for the newborn’s first bath. Conclusion: among the recommendations studied, 31.6% were convergent, 36.8% were partially convergent and 31.6% divergent. The partially convergent and divergent recommendations totaled 68.4%, indicating the need for their revision by the Ministry of Health. |
