Pindamonhangaba City Hall introduced 43 more health professionals to work in the city’s health units. Hiring had already been planned since public competition 001/23 was held in April 2023.

Serving people and giving the best of each person to provide excellent service and improve people’s lives. Therefore, when serving each person in the neighborhoods or units that you are assigned to, do so with great respect, great affection and put yourself in the other person’s shoes. I am sure that each of you will do the best you can and we will increasingly provide more dignified service to the population.”
