Around 25,000 medical professionals in Brazil are participating in the national More Doctors programme, which aims to enhance the population’s access to health services, according to Prensa Latina, a partner of TV BRICS.
In 2023, the Brazilian government streamlined the programme’s implementation, improving working conditions and benefits for the participating medical staff. Early in July, Brazil’s Ministry of Health announced a new wave of recruitment for doctors and medical staff to further bolster the initiative.
The programme includes quotas for employees with disabilities and other socially vulnerable groups. Brazilian Health Minister Nisia Trindade stated that the new decree aims to increase the number of specialists to 28,000. She noted that for the first time, the decree aligns with the quota policy, which is a priority of the federal government.
