Hospital Materno Infantil Nossa Senhora de Nazaré

What Hospital Materno Infantil Nossa Senhora de Nazaré does

Hospital Materno Infantil Nossa Senhora de Nazaré operates as a public-sector health entity within the Brazilian National Health System (SUS), and its principal digital asset is the Portal de Boas Práticas em Saúde da Mulher, da Criança e do Adolescente, hosted at portaldeboaspraticas.iff.fiocruz.br and operated by the Instituto Nacional de Saúde da Mulher, da Criança e do Adolescente Fernandes Figueira (IFF), part of the Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz) network under the Brazilian Ministry of Health. The portal, founded in 2017, delivers evidence-based clinical content targeted at health professionals across Brazil, organized along four axes: women's health, newborn care, child health, and adolescent health. Content formats include expert-encounter sessions, navigable e-books (such as the 10 Steps for Obstetric and Neonatal Care), a resource library, and distance learning courses delivered through the separate AVA IFF/Fiocruz platform (ead.iff.fiocruz.br). The headcount is reported at 48, and the entity is based in Boa Vista, Roraima.

The business model is non-commercial: as a government institution under SUS, the portal distributes content open-access and is funded through the public budget of Fiocruz and the Ministry of Health rather than through user fees, subscriptions, or pricing tiers. No pricing models, customer contracts, or revenue figures are disclosed. The platform's reach is national, with content drawn from partnerships across Brazilian educational and research institutions, and its audience is the multiprofessional clinical workforce — including obstetricians, pediatricians, neonatologists, nurses, and allied health staff — rather than end-patient consumers.
