Torrero-La Paz Health Centre in Zaragoza.Fifty medical records of all the 275 infants younger than two years old included in the "Infant Programme".Some criteria were studied with its standards previously accented by the team. The obtained results were compared with the standards. The programme coverage was 70%, with 10% of loss. There were some criteria that indicated a good accomplishment of the programme, such as vaccination (87.2%), Hischberg test (87%), testicle examination (96.5%, preventive fluorine administration (92.5%). Others got lower results: dry spot screening (76%), maternal lactation advise (70%), maternal/mixed lactation at the third month (36%). The pathology detected in programmed check-ups was principally urologic disorders.Poor structure for the programme performance in despite of the fact there is a good follow-up of the programme activities. It would be necessary to insist on the maternal lactation advise and lactation at the third month.
