Poços de Caldas municipal health, sport, infrastructure

Entities: Municipal Council of Poços de Caldas · Poços de Caldas · José Carlos Trinca Zanetti · Tiago Braz · Law No. 10.090/2026

Overview

The city continues to weave health, sport, and infrastructure into a single municipal agenda. Building on the July 23 strategic meeting, the Sports Secretariat launched a 60 + adapted volleyball program and announced a 60 + basketball class to promote active ageing and social interaction. The Health Department’s “Melhor em Casa” telehealth service recorded more than 1,200 remote contacts in its first six months, including over 200 video consultations and 1,000 message‑based inquiries that support caregivers with medication, wound care and psychological aid.

Councilor Álvaro Cagnani’s long‑standing call for a unified, georeferenced map of underground utilities was reiterated, highlighting the risk of accidents when water, sewage, gas, electricity and telecom lines remain fragmented across providers.

On July 27 the Municipal Council summoned the Secretary of Infrastructure and Public Works to a hearing on 11 August, demanding answers on 27 items related to road‑work projects such as the revitalisation of João Pinheiro Avenue, Santo Antonio Avenue and a major neighbourhood junction. The council seeks detail on timelines, funding, contractors and quality‑control measures.

Separately, the recently approved Municipal Law No. 10.090/2026, which calls for support points for motorcycle couriers, remains inactive; no sites, partners, budget or schedule have been identified.

Overall, Poços de Caldas is pressuring transparency and coordination across health, recreation and public‑works while coping with infrastructural data gaps.
