World Health Day

celebrated every year on April 7, World Health Day is an important date for reflection on the adoption of habits and care that provides health and quality of life to the population. In this sense, the National Supplementary Health Agency (ANS) takes advantage of the occasion to reinforce that small attitudes can generate great results when it comes to maintaining this machine, which is the human body. 

There are currently 650 health promotion and disease prevention programs registered at ANS, involving more than 2.3 million health plans beneficiaries in different care lines: adult and elderly health, women's health, children's health, mental health, adolescent health, male health, oral health, people with physical disabilities. "Most of the programs we have registered today seek to combat risk factors for chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCD), such as diabetes, hypertension and cancer. Our goal is to have more and more projects that contemplate beneficiaries health management and that bring effective improvement in outcomes to patients," says Sector Development Director Mauricio Nunes. 

In addition to stimulating the development of these initiatives to follow up with the patients, ANS has adopted other measures focused on improving the quality of service provided to health plans beneficiary, such as certification in good practices in primary care.
