CIIR is selected to showcase excellence practices at a global health event
Projects developed at CIIR will be presented as examples of excellence at the largest international conference on health
"My son started participating in therapies and in a short time, he evolved a lot. He improved a lot in interaction. Playing with friends, with other children, attending other environments: church, events, birthday parties, everything." The emotional account is from Jéssica Oliveira Gomes, mother of Luiz Antônio, 4 years old. For her, the Integrated Center for Inclusion and Rehabilitation (CIIR), in Belém, is more than a health space, "it is a welcoming place."
Jéssica's experience, shared by thousands of families served by the unit, now gains international projection. Seven scientific papers developed by professionals at CIIR have been selected to be part of the official program of the Planetree International Conference on Person-Centered Care 2025, the largest global event on person-centered care, which will be held in October in the United States.
The executive director of CIIR, Rejane Xavier, celebrates the achievement as a recognition of the health model that has been implemented in Pará.
"The selection of CIIR's works for the Planetree 2025 Conference is a recognition of our commitment to humanized care, based on scientific evidence and centered on the real needs of people. More than presenting experiences, we will share practices that transform lives every day. Taking these initiatives from Pará to an international stage shows that it is possible to provide public health with quality, innovation, and social responsibility."
Rejane Xavier also had her lecture "Small Steps, Big Changes: The Impact of Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeries in Pará" approved for presentation on October 15, in the special session Sparks Stage.
Another highlight in the program is the assistant coordinator of the Specialized Center for Autism Spectrum Disorder (Cetea), Sâmilly Batista. She will present, on October 13, the work "Evidence-Based Practices in Autism Treatment: An Analysis of Interventions Conducted at Cetea, a Reference Center in the Amazon."
Selected works in the poster category
Another five works from CIIR professionals were included in the poster category, which brings together research experiences and innovative practices in person-centered health:

The Secretary of State for Public Health, Ivete Gadelha Vaz, highlighted the importance of international recognition of the work developed at CIIR. "The selection of seven works from the Integrated Center for Inclusion and Rehabilitation (CIIR) for the Planetree International Conference reinforces the positioning of the Government of Pará in developing public health committed to inclusion, equity, and quality of care. The international recognition of CIIR demonstrates the technical capacity and engagement of the teams in evidence-based practices, focusing on the person and the social impact of health actions."
