Observatory of Children's Health

The Observatory of Children's Health ("Observatório de Saúde na Infância or Observa Infância" in Portuguese) is a scientific dissemination initiative to make society aware of data and information about the health of children under five years old. The objective is to expand access to qualified information and facilitate understanding of data obtained from Brazilian national information systems. The scientific evidence worked on is the result of investigations carried out by researchers Cristiano Boccolini and Patricia Boccolini within the scope of the Institute of Scientific and Technological Communication and Information in Health (ICICT, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation) and the Petropolis Medical School (FMP, Arthur de Sá Earp Center Neto - Unifase) with resources from the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
