The programs are designed to support families by reducing healthcare costs and improving access to necessary health services, thus contributing to the overall well-being of the community.
The Kit Bebé program provides newborn essentials, while +Visão Crianças e Jovens focuses on eye care for children and adolescents, and +Sorriso aims to improve dental health.
