What Secretaria De Saúde does

Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Coronel Ezequiel is the municipal health department of Coronel Ezequiel, a small municipality in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, operating the local arm of Brazil's national unified health system (SUS — Sistema Único de Saúde). The department delivers free public health services to municipal residents, including primary care consultations, preventive care, emergency and urgent care, dental services, prenatal care, chronic disease management (Hiperdia program for hypertension and diabetes), mass vaccination campaigns, sanitary surveillance of food establishments and pharmacies, and health education programs in schools.

Service delivery is organized across a fixed network of public facilities: Basic Health Units (UBS — Unidade Básica de Saúde), Family Health Strategy units (ESF — Estratégia Saúde da Família, specifically ESF 1 Centro and ESF 3 Irmã Eliza), the mixed service unit Unidade Mista Nelson Solon de Farias (dedicated to urgent and emergency cases), and the Farmácia Básica Municipal which distributes essential medicines, antibiotics, controlled psychotropic substances, and smoking cessation medications at no cost. The underlying technology footprint is modest and administrative in nature: an e-SIC electronic citizen information portal, Google Sheets used for daily pharmacy inventory tracking, and a municipal transparency portal. No proprietary software, API, or application is operated by the department.

The entity is a public administration body rather than a commercial enterprise. It is wholly funded through municipal budgets, state allocations, and federal SUS transfers; all services are provided free of charge to citizens, and no revenue, pricing, or customer-acquisition mechanics apply. The department is formally organized under Lei Municipal No. 373 of December 17, 2009, and was subject to administrative restructuring under Lei Nº 623/2025. Current leadership comprises Mayor Thales Watson Farias de Azevedo as chief executive and Health Secretary Maria Sueli Claudino da Silva as department head. The legal entity of record is the Prefeitura Municipal de Coronel Ezequiel (CNPJ 08.158.669/0001-18).
