History
The medical-therapeutic outpatient clinic, founded in 1979, is the result of an initiative by Michael Blaich, an anthroposophic physician, who accepted the invitation of Ute Craemer and the staff of Monte Azul to create a therapeutic and medical movement in the favela, which at that time had no access to public health services. The first headquarters of the therapeutic center, a wooden building, was constructed by residents of the community. In 1985, the new headquarters, made of masonry, was inaugurated and remains today. Since 2016, as part of a partnership with the Unified Health System, assistant doctors from the national health service SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) have accompanied the clinic's daily routine, learning anthroposophic medical practices as well.[1]
