The Bolsa Família program beneficiaries in Feira de Santana, Bahia, are now able to undergo mandatory health monitoring at designated basic health units in their area. This initiative, announced by the Feira de Santana City Hall, requires participants to attend these health evaluations biannually during specified periods to ensure they maintain their benefits without any interruptions such as blockage or cancellation.

During the health checks, vital statistics such as weight and height will be recorded, and vaccination statuses for children under seven will be reviewed. Additionally, women aged 14 to 44 must also participate in these evaluations. Pregnant beneficiaries are required to provide proof of prenatal consultations and must disclose the date of their last menstruation, ensuring that expectant mothers receive the necessary care throughout their pregnancy.

Beneficiaries must present specific documentation, including their Bolsa Família card, vaccination records of their children, and personal identification at the health units to complete these assessments. This health monitoring initiative not only aims to secure the beneficiaries' financial assistance but also emphasizes the importance of health and well-being in the community, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes for families involved in the program.
