What Agsus does

AgSUS (Agência Brasileira de Apoio à Gestão do Sistema Único de Saúde) is a Brazilian autonomous social service entity created by federal law in 2023 (originally established in 2019 as ADAPS) and headquartered in Brasília, DF. It operates as a nonprofit public-interest organization under the supervision of Brazil's Ministry of Health, with a statutory mandate to support the SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) by placing medical professionals in underserved regions, training Family and Community Medicine specialists, and delivering digital health services to vulnerable populations including indigenous, quilombola, and riverside communities. Its core products include the AgSUS Platform (tele-health and video consultations), the AVA virtual learning environment, the Ouvidoria ombudsman channel integrated with Fala.BR, and the Programa Médicos pelo Brasil (PMpB) federal physician placement program, supported by sub-programs AgSUS Acolhedora and NIT-AgSUS. Notable service lines include the Jogo Responsável mental health tele-service for gambling addiction, delivered in partnership with Hospital Sírio-Libanês through Proadi-SUS, which scaled from 600 to over 100,000 monthly appointments and has processed over one million CPF blocking requests from betting platforms. The business model is non-commercial: AgSUS is fully owned and controlled by the Brazilian Federal Government, funded through public budgetary allocations and contract management agreements with the Ministry of Health, with no equity investors, no disclosed pricing model, and no private revenue stream. Distribution runs through SUS public health units and the Meu SUS Digital federal app, reaching end-users as beneficiaries of public services rather than paying customers.
