In Paty do Alferes, the municipal government completed renovations at the local Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS). The improvements targeted internal and external areas, including the cafeteria, workshop rooms, waiting areas, and the courtyard to enhance comfort and security for patients and staff.

Mayor Julinho Juju stated that the investment aims to strengthen the municipal health network and provide a more dignified and welcoming environment for mental health services.
