“Vamos Falar de Saúde” Discusses Care for a Safe Pregnancy

In its second September episode, the program “Vamos Falar de Saúde” (Vamos Falar de Saúde) welcomed the esteemed obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Luísa Ferreira to discuss a highly relevant topic: “Safe Pregnancy.”

In an interview conducted by host Lídia Vindula, the specialist shared important guidance on the care needed to ensure a smooth pregnancy and promote the baby’s healthy development.

Pregnancy begins before conception

During the discussion, Dr. Luísa Ferreira emphasized that a healthy pregnancy should be planned even before conception.

According to the specialist, a pre-conception consultation is crucial for assessing the woman’s general health. It also allows for the identification and management of any existing health conditions.

At this stage, supplementation with essential nutrients—such as folic acid—may also be recommended. This helps reduce certain risks and prepares the body for pregnancy.

The importance of prenatal care

The doctor also highlighted the importance of starting prenatal care as early as possible.

Monitoring from the first trimester allows for tracking the pregnancy’s progress, estimating gestational age more accurately, and monitoring the early stages of fetal development.

Furthermore, regular check-ups should be accompanied by a balanced diet and appropriate micronutrient supplementation when recommended by a healthcare professional. Key examples include iron and calcium, which are vital for the health of both mother and baby.

Paying attention to warning signs

A highlight of the interview was the warning regarding potential risk signs during pregnancy.

The specialist drew attention to symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, bleeding, fever, persistent headaches, and vision changes. If these signs occur, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.

Thus, paying attention to bodily changes and seeking timely help can help prevent or reduce complications. Prevention and ongoing care are essential.

Finally, Dr. Luísa Ferreira emphasized the importance of adhering to the schedule of appointments, tests, and other medical recommendations.

According to the specialist, prevention and continuous monitoring are crucial for protecting the health of both mother and baby and ensuring a safe delivery.

Dr. Luísa Ferreira’s participation reinforced the “Vamos Falar de Saúde” (Let’s Talk About Health) initiative’s commitment to promoting health literacy. The conversation provided useful and enlightening information for expectant mothers and families.

First Edition of “Vamos Falar de Saúde” in September Addresses Family Planning

As part of the Yellow and Blue September celebrations, a month dedicated to raising awareness about mental health, suicide prevention, and the value of sign language and deaf people, the Liberatos Group, in partnership with the Huíla Provincial Government, promoted the first September edition of the “Vamos Falar de Saúde” program.

The edition featured Dr. Eurídice Chongolola, gynecologist and General Director of the Irene Neto Maternity Hospital in Lubango, who addressed issues related to family planning and reproductive health.

Family Planning: Conscious Choices for the Future

During the interview, the specialist highlighted the importance of family planning as a tool to help women, men, and families make conscious decisions about reproduction, allowing them to plan a desired pregnancy and better prepare for the future.

One of the main topics addressed was teenage pregnancy, which the doctor classified as a social problem requiring prevention, education, and a joint intervention from the entire community.

For the specialist, preventing early pregnancy requires greater awareness among adolescents, families, schools, healthcare professionals, and society in general.

Reproductive health and pregnancy in adulthood

Dr. Eurídice Chongolola also spoke about pregnancy in adulthood, sharing a personal and inspiring testimony. The doctor revealed that, at age 50, she allowed herself to become pregnant, using the experience to encourage women to better understand their own bodies and metabolism.

The specialist argued that self-knowledge and medical monitoring are fundamental so that each woman can make informed decisions about her health and reproductive life.

Vasectomy, Fatherhood, and Birth Rates in Angola

The conversation also touched on topics such as vasectomy, responsibility in fatherhood, and what the specialist considers to be challenges related to the avoidance of fatherhood today.

Another point highlighted was the birth rates in Angola, with particular attention to the Huíla province. The subject was also addressed with a moment of lightheartedness, when the doctor, in a humorous tone, joked about the possibility that the region’s characteristically cold climate might have some influence on the phenomenon.

Breastfeeding and Maternal Nutrition Under Discussion

As part of the Golden & White August campaign, the program “Vamos Falar de Saúde” hosted Dr. Mário Crispim, a Pediatric Resident. In the last edition of August, the specialist addressed the main challenges of breastfeeding, maternal nutrition, and the importance of support for the mother.

Breast Milk and Baby Health

During the conversation, Dr. Mário Crispim highlighted breast milk as the most complete food for the newborn. According to the specialist, breastfeeding contributes to the child’s physical and cognitive growth.

The doctor also explained that breast milk acts as a kind of “first vaccine.” Its composition helps protect the baby against infections, allergies, and other diseases.

Among the topics discussed was also colostrum, the first milk produced after childbirth. Rich in antibodies, it plays an important role in protecting the newborn. The specialist reinforced that a correct latch and frequent stimulation can favor milk production and flow.

Challenges of Breastfeeding

Despite its benefits, breastfeeding can present difficulties. Among the most common are incorrect latch, nipple fissures, and lack of information about maternal nutrition.

Without adequate support, these difficulties can contribute to early weaning. Premature interruption of breastfeeding can reduce the period of immunological protection provided by breast milk.

For the mother, breastfeeding also offers benefits. These include faster uterine recovery and a reduced risk of some types of cancer, including breast and ovarian cancer.

Guidance during breastfeeding

Regarding breast alternation, the pediatrician stressed that the mother’s comfort should be considered. He also recommended that mothers follow the technical guidelines of healthcare professionals, according to the needs of each situation.

A collective responsibility

Dr. Mário Crispim reinforced that breastfeeding should not be seen as the exclusive responsibility of the woman. For this process to proceed properly, the existence of a support network is fundamental. Parents, family members, society, and employers all play an important role in creating favorable emotional and professional conditions. This support can allow the mother to have more peace of mind and time to breastfeed.

Liberatos Group Receives Honorable Mention from Social Security

The award was presented at the Social Security stand during Expo Huíla, in a ceremony that highlighted the companies’ commitment to complying with established standards and promoting good practices in the business environment.

For the Liberatos Group, this recognition is a source of pride and, at the same time, an incentive to continue investing in fulfilling its social and institutional responsibilities.

The distinction also reinforces the importance of companies’ contribution to promoting more responsible labor relations, the social protection of workers, and strengthening a culture of compliance with legal obligations.

By receiving the Honorable Mention, the Liberatos Group reaffirms its commitment to compliance, responsibility, and the appreciation of its employees, viewing this recognition as a result of the continuous work developed by the institution.

The tribute, held in the context of Expo Huíla, thus constitutes another milestone for the Liberatos Group, which sees its efforts in complying with Social Security regulations recognized.

Breastfeeding and Child Health: Myths and Truths

In the second edition of the August program “Vamos Falar de Saúde” promoted by the Liberatos Group, Radio Huíla welcomed Dr. Victória José, a specialist in Neonatology, for an enlightening conversation about breastfeeding and child health.

During her presentation, the doctor debunked several popular myths, emphasizing that “there is no such thing as weak breast milk.” The specialist reinforced that breast milk has the exact nutritional composition that the newborn needs, functioning as the baby’s first vaccine by providing crucial antibodies against infections.

Dr. Victória José emphasized that breast milk should be the exclusive food for the first six months of life, highlighting the benefits of breastfeeding both for the child—preventing gastrointestinal diseases and allergies—and for the mother, by promoting postpartum recovery and reducing the risk of breast cancer. She also explained how to identify the correct latch for the baby, ensuring effective and painless breastfeeding.

Liberatos Group Reinforces Safety Culture in Another Daily Safety Dialogue Session

As part of its ongoing commitment to Occupational Safety, Health and Hygiene (OSH), the Liberatos Group held the first Daily Safety Dialogue (DDS) session on August 6, 2026, led by the General Director, Engineer César Liberato.

During the meeting, management reinforced that safety depends on the active participation of all employees. In this regard, it highlighted that each professional plays an essential role in identifying risks, reporting unsafe situations, and requesting the necessary equipment to perform their duties safely and efficiently.

Furthermore, specific protection measures for each area of ​​activity were reiterated. In the metalworking area, the mandatory continuous use of gloves and safety glasses was emphasized. In fuel distribution, the use of special gloves to protect the skin from the harmful effects of the handled products was stressed. Similarly, the use of safety boots, protective suits, and helmets remains essential in hazardous areas.

On that occasion, the Director emphasized that prevention should be part of the work routine and that compliance with safety standards protects not only employees, but also their families and the continuity of the company’s operations.

“No one comes to work to have accidents, but rather to earn a living for their families. Workplace safety is essential, and the goal is to achieve zero accidents,” stated César Liberato.

With this initiative, the Liberatos Group reaffirms its commitment to promoting a culture of prevention, responsibility, and continuous improvement, placing the protection of people at the center of its priorities.

Exclusive Breastfeeding is Essential for Infant Health

As part of the “Golden & White August” awareness campaigns, the “Vamos Falar de Sáude” program, broadcast on Radio Huíla and live on the Liberatos Group’s Facebook page, featured Dr. Cláudio dos Santos discussing the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and the care needed during the transition to complementary feeding.

Breast milk remains the best option

During the interview, Dr. Cláudio dos Santos explained that breast milk is the primary source of nutrition for newborns. In addition to providing all the necessary nutrients, it offers antibodies that strengthen the immune system and contribute to healthy growth.

When comparing breast milk to infant formulas, the specialist clarified that the latter represent an alternative only in specific situations. However, he emphasized that no industrialized product can reproduce the biological complexity or the immunological benefits provided by breast milk.

Risks of Early Interruption of Breastfeeding

The doctor warned about the reality observed in the Huíla province, especially in the municipality of Lubango. He explained that interrupting exclusive breastfeeding before six months or the inappropriate introduction of other foods can increase the risk of gastrointestinal infections, malnutrition, and delays in the physical and cognitive development of children.

Therefore, he reinforced that compliance with medical recommendations is fundamental to reducing childhood health problems and ensuring adequate development.

Hygiene is also part of the care

Another topic highlighted during the conversation was maternal hygiene. According to the specialist, mothers should adopt rigorous care before each breastfeeding session.

Thus, proper cleaning of the breast area helps reduce the risk of transmission of bacteria and other pathogens to the baby during direct contact.

Complementary feeding should be gradual

Regarding complementary feeding, Dr. Cláudio dos Santos explained that it should begin at six months of age. Furthermore, he recommended that the introduction of food be done gradually, in a balanced way, and adapted to locally available products.

The expert also reinforced that breastfeeding should continue, whenever possible, until two years of age or more, according to international recommendations.

A Healthy Smile Begins in Childhood

Children’s oral health requires attention from the first days of life. In an interview on the program “Vamos Falar de Saúde” on Radio Huíla, Dr. Magda Século Paulo, a specialist in General and Family Medicine, warned about the risks of neglecting children’s teeth.

According to the specialist, tooth decay is one of the most frequent oral diseases in childhood. The disease causes the progressive destruction of tooth tissues and, therefore, should be prevented from an early age.

In addition, lack of oral hygiene can cause intense pain, infections, and premature tooth loss. In more serious cases, it can also compromise speech development and make chewing difficult.

On the other hand, adopting proper hygiene habits offers important benefits. Regular brushing strengthens teeth, helps maintain fresh breath, and contributes to the healthy development of the jaw structure.

For effective brushing, Dr. Magda recommends that the procedure last about two minutes. The movements should be gentle, short, and circular, always from top to bottom.

Equally important is brushing the tongue. The movement should be from the inside out, as this helps eliminate bacteria and prevent bad breath.

In addition to daily hygiene, a balanced diet plays an essential role in oral health. A diet rich in vitamins and minerals strengthens teeth and promotes their development. Regular visits to the dentist are also fundamental, allowing for the prevention and early identification of problems.

Therefore, taking care of oral health from childhood is an investment in well-being and quality of life.

Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent diseases, says specialist

The specialist in General and Family Medicine, Dr. Jéssica Pilartes, defended, this Tuesday (22), the importance of vaccination as one of the main measures for disease prevention and protection of public health, during the edition of the program “Vamos Falar de Saúde”, broadcast by Rádio Huíla and live on the official page of the Liberatos Group.

In the interview, the specialist explained that vaccines strengthen the immune system, preventing serious diseases that, in the past, caused high mortality. She also highlighted that keeping the national vaccination schedule up to date is the safest way to protect children and adults.

Addressing families, she appealed to parents to take their children to vaccination centers, reinforcing that “vaccination is a child’s right and a parent’s duty”, underlining that the benefits of immunization outweigh any mild and temporary reactions.

During the conversation, the doctor discussed the main vaccines in Angola’s national vaccination schedule, including those administered at birth, such as BCG and Hepatitis B, as well as vaccines against polio, measles, rotavirus, and the pentavalent vaccine, highlighting their role in preventing serious complications and permanent sequelae.

Dr. Jéssica Pilartes also reminded the public that vaccination should accompany citizens throughout their lives, with boosters in adulthood and special attention for pregnant women and the elderly. At the end of the interview, she encouraged the population to combat misinformation, seek medical advice, and ensure that the entire family adheres to the vaccination schedule.
