Cities in Acre receive two more health trucks to expand early diagnosis of diseases

The trucks are equipped with equipment, supplies and a specialized multidisciplinary team. In Tarauacá, mammography exams, breast, pelvic and transvaginal ultrasounds, cervical biopsies and consultations with gynecologists and mastology will be offered. In Brasiléia, various tomography scans will be offered.

According to the Ministry of Health, the service is exclusively for patients pre-booked and referred to these mobile units through the Municipal Health Departments.

To request referral to the services offered by the trucks, according to the folder, anyone already waiting in the SUS queue should look for the nearest Basic Health Unit (UBS).

According to the Ministry of Health, five municipalities in the state have already been provided with mobile units with specialized services in imaging tests, women's health and ophthalmology. In total, according to the ministry, 5 thousand people were served and 12.6 thousand services were provided.

The Agora Tem Especialista program was created to decentralize exams, consultations and surgeries, in addition to expanding the offer of these procedures to SUS patients.

The mobile trucks have been operating since October 2025 and are part of a national plan by the federal government to reduce waiting times for specialists in the public health system.

In total, the mobile units served more than 545 thousand people from 4,799 municipalities across Brazil, with more than 1.4 million procedures performed in all states.
