The current municipal administration has also greatly expanded dental care in the capital. Since 2017, the government’s first year, 41 teams have been deployed and six more are already in operation despite not being officially delivered. When he took over the Cuiabá City Council in 2017, the administration found 10 teams in the municipal health department, and today the total number is 57. Cuiabá is today the city with the most dental specialty centers (CEO) in Mato Grosso.
With all these measures, the municipal administration has shown its commitment to improving the health units in Cuiabá, with the aim of providing quality care and better conditions for the population.
