If you are a system user, you may not be aware of some of the SUS benefits offered, check this post.
Here in Brazil, we have the Health Unic System, known as SUS, created in September 1988, with the objective of full access, guaranteeing free health services to Brazilian citizens.
The system since then has been offering different types of services ranging from prevention up until more complex treatments, which can be of a very high value in particular system cases.
Even so, some people do not have access or are not aware of the variety of activities offered by the plan.
Check out 7 of the services available that you may not know about yet.
