Community Post

Anchor equipment at the service of health and well-being
AUGI 48 Casal do Brejo
2022

The COMMUNITY POST of AUGI48 in Casal do Brejo starts in the participatory process for the reconversion of the deactivated Medical Center to transform it into a place for meeting, socializing, training and support in the areas of health and environmental and urban practices. The COMMUNITY POST is set to improve the living and health conditions of a population mainly old, with low income, low schooling, facing a situation of greater isolation and concrete difficulties in the access to Health Services worsened by the epidemic. Thus, the Health Diagnosis portrays the health conditions of the residents, and defines the detection, surveillance and self-management actions for chronic health conditions and prevention. The intervention gives the building back as the central equipment of a new dynamic for the neighborhood, with a range of support and training services for its residents.
