Do any of these committee members have potential conflict of interest? If so, please briefly explain. No Tell us a little about your project. What are the main objectives of the project, and who will benefit from it? The Valentim Gentil Basic Health Unit has a demand for approximately 550 ultrasound exams in several medical specialties, with emphasis on the areas of orthopedics, gynecology / obstetrics and pediatrics. These tests are sent to the Unified Health System (SUS) where, even in more urgent situations, patients wait between 90 and 180 days for care. The objective of this project is to meet this demand and offer prompt care, reduce the time for diagnosis and treatment of diseases, reduce the risk of worsening and deaths and the cost of treatments. It will benefit the entire local population, now around 16000 people, and can extend the service to neighboring municipalities with the same need through the formation of a consortium to defray the professional and other expenses necessary for the full operation of the equipment.

Humanitarian Projects - Project Planning Describe the community needs that your project will address. People wait 90 to 180 days to undergo ultrasound examination, having to move to another city, many of them are ill, elderly or people with mobility difficulties. With the availability of the device, dislocations will be avoided, care will be considerably faster and, with the early diagnosis of any disease that the exams will provide, the onset of treatment will be much faster and with the abbreviation of the diagnosis and consequently of the many complications will be avoided, which will generate considerable savings to the community health sector, which can reinvest in improvements for itself. How did your project team identify these needs. After surveys to identify deficiencies in the community, talking to people related to the health area is noticed the delay for several tests to be performed. Among these, the ultrasonography also drew attention to the high demand in the service, with a queue of more than 550 people. The public health system in Brazil is very inefficient and with the strong financial crisis that the country is going through, this has worsened. The knowledge of the numbers presented is that it has taken into account the importance of a project along these lines, which could benefit not only the local community, but several neighboring communities that suffer the same lack and that can also be met, considerably increasing the number of beneficiaries in more than 100% (one hundred percent). How were members of the benefiting community involved in finding solutions. Looking for numbers and information with local authorities on what measures could bring benefits and especially listening to complaints from people served by the Health System. How were community members involved in planning the project. Giving opinions and ideas about what they would like to have available in healthcare.
