Telessaude Mato Grosso is part of The National Telehealth Brazil Networks Program, which was established through the Ordinance of the Ministry of Health nº 35 of January 2007, and is coordinated by the Secretariats of Labor and Health Education (SGTES) and Health Care (SAS).
It enables the strengthening and improvement of the quality of primary care services in the Unified Health System (SUS), integrating Permanent Health Education (EPS) and health care support through information and communication technologies (ICT) tools and technologies. It is constituted by State, Intermunicipal and Regional Nuclei, that develop and offer specific services for professionals and workers of the SUS.
