Brazilian legislation assures that the services of the “Sistema Único de Saúde” (SUS) are universal, free and open to anyone present in Brazil. Anyone residing in Brazil, including asylum seekers and refugees, has the right to be treated in a community health center. In order to do so, you must show your CPF (social security card) and provisional “Protocolo” document or RNE (ID for foreigners) at any hospital, clinic or health center and apply for your SUS Card. This card is free and can be used in any community health center throughout the country.

All hospitals and community health centers in Brazil are required to attend to refugees. In many locations, you can also find the “Unidades Básicas de Saúde” (UBS). At a UBS you can receive free basic services in pediatrics, gynecology, general medicine, nursing and dentistry. To find the UBS closest to you, click here: http://www.pac.gov.br .

In extreme cases, you should seek help from “Unidades de Pronto Atendimento” (UPA) and Emergency Hospitals.

You are residing in a tropical country with a hot and humid climate. It is very important that you take certain precautions:
- Drink a lot of water or juice every day, and make sure to keep children hydrated.
- Avoid eating fried foods and sweets every day. Try to substitute them for items such as roasted or grilled foods, vegetables and fruits.
- Bathing frequently is not only good for your health, but is also an integral part of Brazil’s hygiene culture.

In Brazil, parents are required to have their children vaccinated. Young children of asylum seekers and refugees can be vaccinated free of charge in public health centers. To know which vaccines children and adolescents should receive, consult the vaccination calendar in one of your city’s health centers.

It is a universal right to be able to play sports; all human beings have the right to practice whatever sport they want, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, etc.
