Cruzeiro do Sul ranks second in Northern Brazil for primary healthcare coverage
Cruzeiro do Sul, located in the state of Acre, has achieved the second highest primary healthcare coverage in the Northern region of Brazil and the seventh position nationally, according to the 2026 Municipal Competitiveness Ranking by the Centro de Liderança Pública (CLP).
The municipality reported an estimated coverage index of 158.32%. In the Northern region, it follows only Bragança, Pará, which holds the first position with 170.41% coverage. Cruzeiro do Sul outperformed other regional municipalities, including Gurupi, Tocantins (136.75%), and Paragominas, Pará (134.85%).
The ranking, based on 2025 data from the Ministry of Health’s e-Gestor system, uses a methodology where a percentage over 100% indicates the potential coverage capacity of healthcare teams relative to the population, rather than implying more residents than exist. In comparison, the state capital Rio Branco ranked 22nd in the region with 90.95% coverage.
