Healthcare diagnostic expansion in Vilhena
Overview
The Municipality of Vilhena has implemented several initiatives to expand diagnostic access and reduce medical backlogs. The Municipal Health Secretariat (SEMUS) acquired 11 portable ultrasound machines using municipal funds to decentralize services. These devices allow for clinical evaluations such as prenatal monitoring and abdominal assessments directly within primary health care units, including rural areas.
Additionally, a mobile magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit, established through a partnership between the Vilhena Municipal Government and state deputy Ezequiel Neiva, has completed over 5,200 examinations. This mobile service aims to perform 10,000 procedures in total, benefiting residents of Vilhena and several surrounding municipalities in the Cone Sul region by reducing the need for travel to distant medical centers.
