The Health Regulatory Entity (ERS) warns that more than 10,000 children are being excluded from the check-dentist program because they attend private schools. The alleged lack of equity in access to health care exists even in cases where children and young people are deprived of and have scholarships to attend colleges, Jornal de Notícias reports.
There is an unacceptable discrimination of those who make their choice for private education, says the director of the Association of Private and Cooperative Education, Rodrigo Queiroz e Melo, noting that of the 10,000 children without access to the dentist's check, about 1,000 have difficulties.
Despite the universal nature of this benefit, the Ministry of Health explains to the Jornal de Notícias that it has privileged the children of public schools and private social solidarity institutions (IPSS) as the most vulnerable and with the most clinical impact.
In 2017, more than 71,000 dental clinics were held in health centers, benefiting about 40,000 children and young people.
