Health
Every Brazilian or foreigner in Brazilian territory can be cared for free of charge by the Unified Health System (SUS), available in health centers and emergency care units throughout the city. However, service may be time consuming or may not be available immediately.
To have access to some of the SUS services, you will need a National Health Card (CNS). To do so, download the Conecte Sus App (Android and iOS) and access it by entering your CPF and Gov.br portal password (to create an account, click here). When entering the SUS app, click on the orange button at the bottom of the screen to view your virtual SUS card. You can download it and have it available as an electronic or printed file.
In addition, at UFCSPA, the Psychopedagogical Support Center (NAP) provides psychopedagogical assistance and is available free of charge to students and professors.
