This expanded presence reflects the program\u2019s progress in scale and its reach across contexts marked by different levels of access to healthcare services.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Among the results achieved, one of the highlights is in the state of Amazonas. Residents of riverside communities are gaining closer access to medical consultations, prenatal care, vaccinations, and teleconsultations through new healthcare points established in these regions.<\/p>\n<p>This change is thanks to the SUS na Floresta project, implemented by the Sustainable Amazon Foundation (FAS), with support from Together for Health. The project has reduced historical barriers faced by populations who depend on long boat trips to receive healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>In the M\u00e9dio Rio Juru\u00e1 region, in Carauari (AM), travel to the urban area can take days. With the establishment of healthcare support points, services are now provided closer to communities, combining in-person consultations and telehealth and strengthening access to primary care.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SUS na Floresta: A sa\u00fade mais perto de quem vive na floresta\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLStdAXm56OHg\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><strong>\u201cAn essential principle of this project and of all the participants in Together for Health is not to create a parallel structure to SUS, but rather to strengthen it,\u201d highlights Guilherme Sylos, Director of Prospecting and Partnerships at IDIS.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The project promotes the establishment of healthcare support points and in-person and telemedicine solutions in municipalities across Amazonas, helping expand access to healthcare services in remote areas of the Brazilian Legal Amazon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/juntospelasaude.org.br\/en\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learn more about this and other Together for Health projects.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Would you like to learn more about how to support the initiative?
