Mutirões in June will have consultations, exams and surgeries in indigenous territories in 4 Brazilian states
In June 2026, more than 13,000 consultations, exams and surgeries will be carried out in indigenous territories in the States of Ceará, Pernambuco, Amapá and Pará. The procedures will be carried out by AgSUS (Brazilian SUS Management Support Agency).
The program includes consultations, diagnostic exams, specialized procedures and ophthalmological surgeries in areas such as pediatrics, gynecology and obstetrics, cardiology, internal medicine, dermatology and general surgery.
The actions count on the partnership of institutions with experience in indigenous territories and remote regions, such as the Aldeia em Foco project, the Associação Médicos da Floresta, Hospital Einstein Israelita and the NGO Zoé.
Since the beginning of the strategy, in August 2025, 14 joint efforts have been carried out in different regions of the country. For the CEO of AgSUS, André Longo, the initiative expands indigenous peoples’ access to specialized care.
“This strategy reduces access barriers, reduces waiting time for care and strengthens comprehensive care, respecting the cultural specificities and realities of each indigenous people”declared Longo.
