Polyclinic Carajás welcomes women and strengthens care for women's health
Preventive consultations, exams, clinical evaluation, and guidance on gynecological health are part of the assistance guaranteed by the Government of Pará's Unit
The Polyclinic Carajás Miguel Chamon, in Marabá, is a reference in women's health. From April to August 2025, the unit recorded about 800 gynecological consultations, conducted with excellence and care. The service guarantees women in the region comprehensive follow-up, strengthening the public health network in southeastern Pará.
Luciana Alves, 32 years old, a resident of Marabá, in the Carajás region, reports that she was able to schedule her appointment without complications and was surprised by the care received. "I was attended to with attention, I felt heard and respected. The consultation was not just about exams, but about understanding my health as a whole. I leave relieved and confident," she stated.
Silvana Cabral, 45 years old, a resident of São Domingos do Araguaia, in the Carajás region, also found support at the Polyclinic. "Many times we postpone care out of fear or lack of options. Here I received affection and clear explanations about the treatment. I lifted a weight off my shoulders, I feel more confident to take care of my health," she shared.
At the unit, managed by the Institute of Social and Environmental Health of the Amazon (ISSAA) in partnership with the State Department of Public Health (Sespa), patients receive care that includes preventive consultations, complete clinical evaluation, and exams when necessary. Additionally, users receive guidance on reproductive health, contraceptive methods, and disease prevention.
The executive director of the Polyclinic, Joabe Lopes, emphasizes that gynecological care at the unit symbolizes progress for the entire region. "We receive women from different municipalities who come seeking care and leave with renewed hope. We are not just a space for consultations, but a place that transforms lives and reaffirms the dignity of women's health," he highlighted.
Prevention
Caring for women's health is an act of listening, trust, and guidance that transforms lives. Gynecologist Patyelly Alves, who is part of the Polyclinic Carajás team, explains that each consultation goes beyond the technical aspect, creating bonds of closeness with patients. "Our work is to offer comprehensive attention, combining science and affection to prevent diseases and strengthen self-esteem," she emphasized.
The doctor reinforces that prevention should be a priority in women's routines. "Ideally, women should see a gynecologist at least once a year for clinical evaluation and to undergo the preventive exam of the cervix. This simple practice prevents complications, ensures early diagnoses, and guarantees a better quality of life," advised the professional.
The gynecologist also emphasizes that small care can have a significant impact on women's health. Among them are attention to intimate hygiene, avoiding excessive use of products, and keeping the vaccination schedule up to date, especially for specific vaccines that protect women's health.
Regulation - The services at the Polyclinic are directed by the State Regulation Center, linked to Sespa. To access the services, the user must seek a Basic Health Unit (UBS), obtain a referral, and present it to the Municipal Health Department of their city, which will register and schedule the appointment.
The Polyclinic Carajás is a reference in health in southeastern Pará. The unit offers care in more than 25 medical specialties and performs over 20 medium and high complexity exams. The institution also carries out low-complexity surgical procedures. All care is 100% free, through the Unified Health System (SUS).
