== History ==

==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 medicine|anthroposophic medical]] practices as well.<ref name=":0" />
