·21 min·2 clips

Ricardo Cavalcante Ribeiro reveals how a 1991 family health clinic became the foundation for a project aiding homeless women in Rio.

The episode begins with host José Castanhas Neto introducing the show and sponsors, followed by an interview segment focused on social issues. Ricardo Cavalcante Ribeiro explains that the Carlos Chagas Institute, a postgraduate health sciences institution with 63 years of history, initiated the Menina, Moça, Mulher project in 2016-2017. The project repurposes a historic family health clinic from 1991, which was found in poor condition, into a modern facility for vulnerable women. Services target women from age 12 upward, addressing gaps in public health access, especially post-pandemic, as more women have become homeless. Care includes medical professionals like gynecologists and family doctors, alongside psychologists, social assistants, and lawyers to handle issues like lack of documentation and violence. A key component is a training office to prepare women for the labor market, with activities like sewing workshops for employability. Outreach efforts involve sound cars, leaflets, and a website to increase awareness and spontaneous visits. The project operates from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm, at Mendes Sá Street 254, where women undergo a welcome phase with social assistants. It has formal agreements with municipal and state health and social assistance departments, and partnerships with private entities. In October, the project focused on breast cancer early diagnosis during Rose October campaigns. Research collaborations with the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation aim to generate evidence for replicating the model in other regions. The episode concludes with closing remarks, sponsor messages, and information on supporting Netocast through patronage and social media platforms.
