Free medication for Bolsa Família beneficiaries and news
The Popular Pharmacy Program has expanded its scope by including the indigenous population. Starting with a pilot project in the Yanomami Territory, the government's objective is to provide easy access to basic pharmaceutical assistance in the Special Indigenous Health Districts (DSEI), complementing the services already available.
This expansion of the program will allow the indigenous population to have free access to all medicines available in the Popular Pharmacy list.
In addition, as part of this initiative, new units were accredited in municipalities with greater vulnerability, guaranteeing the availability of essential medicines.
The process to withdraw the medication is simple and agile. The beneficiary of the Bolsa Família must go to the accredited pharmacy, with the prescription in hand, carrying the original document with photo, as well as the CPF.
Upon presenting the document, the system will automatically recognize who is a beneficiary of the Bolsa Família program. After crossing data, the beneficiary will have access to the medication. Therefore, it is not necessary to register in advance to receive the government discount.
