ABSTRACT
The hemoglobin is a protein coded genetically that after the 6 months of life when fetal hemoglobin, the type of identified hemoglobin has disappeared through the electrophoretic study it is for a lifetime and it doesn't change, it means, that a pregnant woman once studied in its first pregnancy it should not be studied in successive pregnancies, and it has observed that profecionals of the primary attention indicate this study to the reception of all the pregnant ones, without keeping in mind if they are primiparous or multiparous showing a total lack of sense of the saving and rational use of resources. As answer to the necessity of saving of resources that our political leaders have expressed as urgent measure, necessary for sustaining the social system, a descriptive, longitudinal observational, retrospective study was carried out in the municipal service of community genetics with the objective of knowing which is the current situation of programme for prenatal prevention of Sicklemia in Ciego de Avila, in order to implement a strategy to counteract the indiscriminate indication of this study and this way to achieve saving of resources and an appropriate handling of the program.REFERENCES
