SESAU - Ministry of Health of Roraima

What SESAU - Ministry of Health of Roraima does

SESAU (Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de Roraima) is the official state health authority of the Brazilian state of Roraima, established by State Laws 498 and 499 of July 19, 2005, and operating under Brazil's Unified Health System (SUS). It is responsible for organizing, formulating, and executing public health policy across the state, delivering universal, free-at-point-of-use healthcare to all residents of Roraima through a network that spans the capital Boa Vista and 15 interior municipalities. SESAU coordinates flagship facilities including the Hospital Geral de Roraima Rubens de Souza Bento (HGR), the Hospital Materno Infantil Nossa Senhora de Nazareth, two 24-hour emergency units (Pronto Atendimento Cosme e Silva, Pronto Atendimento Dr. Airton Rocha), the SAMU 192 mobile emergency service, LACEN public health laboratory, HEMORAIMA blood bank, mental health centers (CAPS III, CAPS AD III), rehabilitation centers (NERF, CER II/III), and specialized clinics for women's health, oncology (UNACON), and infectious disease (CTA/COAS).

SESAU's technology backbone is built around Brazil's national health information systems — DataSUS, RNDS, SISREG III, TABNET, GAL, ConecteSUS, CNES, e-SUS AB, e-SUS Notifica, SIES, and SEI — supplemented by state-deployed platforms including the SaaS-based Plataforma Integrada de Gestão e Serviços de Saúde Pública, IS4/SISOTECH, Interlis laboratory system, and the Central Estadual de Regulação Ambulatorial (CERA) teleconsultancy center. Governance bodies include the CES/RR (Conselho Estadual de Saúde) with 30 titular councilors and the CIB/RR (Comissão Intergestores Bipartite) that jointly coordinates inter-federative SUS management with COSEMS/RR.

SESAU is funded entirely through public sector channels: state treasury allocations, federal SUS transfers, InvestSUS program funds, Novo PAC infrastructure investments, and parliamentary amendments managed through FUNDES. It has no commercial revenue stream, no paying customers, and no pricing model — all services are constitutionally free. Current Secretary is Rafaell Azevedo Nascimento, with Manuel Roque Becil Júnior as Adjunct Secretary. The organization is positioned under the Strategic Map 2024-2027 and State Health Plan 2024-2027, with active federal partnerships (Ministry of Health, Fiocruz Amazônia, UNFPA) and regulatory compliance under LGPD and LAI.
