National Health Day
In honor of the birth of public health doctor Oswaldo Cruz, one of the biggest names in public health in Brazil, National Health Day invites us to reflect on the role of basic sanitation.
This service directly impacts public health, access to education and the population's income, influencing the Human Development Index (HDI) and quality of life in Brazil.
For example, children who live in areas with inadequate sanitation are more prone to illness, which results in school absences and, consequently, impaired academic performance.
Oswaldo Cruz's legacy highlights the importance of a robust healthcare system. Therefore, investing in basic sanitation and the technology for its efficient management guarantees a healthier future.
