The Hospital Foundation of Feira de Santana, the second-largest city in Bahia, Brazil, is set to hold a pediatric drive providing 300 slots for children up to 13 years old. This initiative is scheduled for Saturday, February 21, and aims to deliver free medical consultations across various specialties. The event reflects the foundation's commitment to enhancing pediatric healthcare in the region, especially since it serves a large population of families who may not have regular access to specialized medical services.

To participate in this pediatric drive, parents are required to pre-register their children on February 19 and 20 at the pediatric outpatient clinic of the Inácia Pinto dos Santos Hospital (Hospital da Mulher). Registration will occur throughout the day from 7 AM to 5 PM until the maximum number of slots is filled. The actual drive will take place on the designated Saturday from 8 AM to 1 PM, providing essential healthcare support to the community in Feira de Santana.

The director-president of the Hospital Foundation, Gilberte Lucas, stated that this event focuses exclusively on children's health, indicating a significant effort to address pediatric healthcare needs. Such initiatives not only provide immediate medical assistance but also contribute to building awareness around the importance of regular health check-ups and early intervention in children’s health issues, which are crucial for their overall development.
