Abstract

The article focuses on the disparities in reproductive outcomes in Uruguay, particularly highlighting the increased rates of preterm births and intrauterine growth restriction among poorer populations during the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses how socioeconomic status significantly influences adverse reproductive health indicators, such as congenital syphilis and maternal mortality, and suggests that these inequities may reflect broader global trends. The authors advocate for integrating environmental ethics into bioethics, promoting public policies to address reproductive injustice, and enhancing clinical guidelines to consider psychosocial factors affecting pregnant women. They emphasize the need for research and proactive measures to mitigate the long-term societal impacts of these health disparities. [Extracted from the article]
