Description

A modern day care center in Salvador. In some favelas, the residents have been able to gain such centers, while others have received primary schools or health centers. Brazil possesses some of the most modem medical facilities in Latin America. Nevertheless, direct access to these is often limited to those who can afford them. The waiting lines to receive public health services often are very long while hospitals complain about inadequate medical supplies and personnel.Uma creche modema em Salvador.
