The municipality of Volta Redonda is expanding its social assistance initiatives through specialized public health policies.

Initial efforts focused on a proposed partnership between the Municipal Secretariat of Social Assistance and the Hospital da Fundação Oswaldo Aranha (H. FOA). This collaboration aims to provide social support for over 5,000 oncology patients, addressing non-clinical needs such as housing, nutrition, and income to ensure access to protection networks.

Subsequently, the city’s social assistance models have gained national attention. The municipality is scheduled to present its public policy model for Alzheimer’s disease at a national event in São Paulo. This presentation will highlight the work of the Centro-Dia Synval Santos in supporting elderly individuals and their families.
