Maldonado, R. health care health efficiency infant and maternal mortality This study analyzes the relationship among economic conditions, education, mother and child health and health care services in Argentina. It also discusses if the greater or lesser presence of health care services structures (doctors, beds and centers with and without hospitalization) somehow is related to maternal mortality rate and under-five mortality rate. The outcomes do not show a significant correlation between these and mortality rates, whether infant or maternal. Infant mortality strongly refers to the mother’s education and unmet basic needs, and mortality rates are not related to the presence of health care centers, whether with or without hospitalization. Mortality rates are not related to the amount of doctors and beds per inhabitant either. It seems, then, that statistics, as they are currently gathered without differentiating between health care models, do not allow for definite conclusions referred to the relationship between health services and infant mortality. Este trabajo examina la relación entre condiciones económicas, educación, salud materno infantil y servicios de atención médica en Argentina. Plantea, si la mayor o menor presencia de estructuras de servicios de atención médica: médicos, camas y establecimientos con y sin internación se relaciona de alguna manera con las tasas de mortalidad materna y de menores de cinco años. Los resultados no demuestran una correlación significativa entre ellos y las tasas de mortalidad sean infantiles o maternas. La mortalidad infantil refiere fuertemente a la educación de la madre y a las necesidades básicas insatisfechas, siendo ajenas a las tasas de mortalidad la presencia de instituciones de atención sea con o sin internación. Tampoco tienen que ver las tasas de mortalidad con la cantidad de médicos y camas por habitantes. Pareciera entonces, que las estadísticas tal cual se recolectan en la actualidad, sin diferenciación entre modelos de atención, no permiten conclusiones definitivas referidas a la relación de los servicios de salud y la mortalidad infantil.
