Partnership with the Federal Government benefits Ceará.
Two activities by Governor Camilo Santana demonstrate the importance of the partnership between states and the Federal Government to improve the living conditions of the majority of the population. Ceará received 514 new doctors this Tuesday morning (03), through the Mais Médicos Program, who will work in 113 municipalities in the State and inaugurated, in the evening, the Miguel Carneiro da Cunha High School, in the municipality of Tianguá, to serve 540 students.
Governor Camilo Santana today welcomed 514 doctors from the Mais Médicos Program and inaugurated a high school in Tinguá, in the Serra da Ibiapaba region. Both the hiring of the doctors and the construction of the school were carried out in partnership with the Federal Government.
What makes the program's new doctors stand out is that they are all Brazilian. There are 514 new doctors who will work in 113 municipalities in the state.
This is the first time the federal government program will not include foreign doctors. The information was given during a welcoming ceremony for the healthcare professionals, held in the auditorium of the Abolition Palace in Fortaleza, led by the Governor of Ceará, Camilo Santana, and the Minister of Health, Arthur Chioro. “The presence of Brazilian doctors in our state only further strengthens this program, created by President Dilma Rousseff. This program guarantees basic healthcare services in the most remote municipalities that most need the public health system,” the governor emphasized.
During the ceremony, the minister mentioned that the Northeast region had the highest participation rate, highlighting that of the 1784 opportunities offered, 1711 have already been filled. “With only two calls for applications, 97% of the vacancies, throughout Brazil and also in Ceará, were practically filled by Brazilian doctors. We are reaffirming the commitment of the Federal Government in Ceará. We will indeed prioritize primary health care throughout Brazil,” the minister emphasized.
The Miguel Carneiro da Cunha High School, in the municipality of Tianguá, in the Serra da Ibiapaba region, which was inaugurated last night, is expected to serve 540 students in the morning and afternoon shifts. The new unit has a library, language labs, computer labs, and science labs (Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Mathematics), a room for the student union, and a multi-sports court. Spread over 3,4 square meters, the structure comprises six classrooms. The investment for the school's construction, equipment, and furniture was R$ 3 million, originating from state and federal governments.
In his speech, the governor made a point of highlighting the continuity of the works and projects of former governor Cid Gomes, who makes us very proud to be the minister of the most important portfolio in the federal government."
