Brazilian legislators advocate for regional healthcare improvements

In the Federal District, Deputy Rodrigo Delmasso highlighted his collaboration with Governor Celina Leão regarding health policies, specifically noting the law that enabled public access to cannabidiol for treating epilepsy and other conditions. Delmasso expressed his intention to prioritize parliamentary amendments for hospitals, emergency care units (UPAs), and programs targeting rare and chronic diseases.

In Acre, State Deputy Michelle Melo is advocating for the construction of a Cancer Hospital in the Vale do Juruá region. Melo emphasized the need for dialogue with Governor Mailza Assis to expand specialized oncological care, aiming to reduce the necessity for local patients to travel to Rio Branco for exams and treatments.
