Imagine you’re unwell. Your heart is pounding. Sweat trickles down your brow. And each breath comes harder than the last. You rush to the doctor only to find that there’s a wait. 
“How long,” you ask. 
“It’ll be a while,” the receptionist says. “Come back another day.”
What sounds like a nightmare is a stark reality for over 100 million low- and middle-income people in Brazil. Most depend on the nation’s universal health insurance system, which is plagued by long waits, poor infrastructure, and chronic budget shortfalls. That means millions of Brazilians struggle to get the care they need.
Against that backdrop, Thomaz Srougi opened the first dr.consulta clinic in 2011. The clinic provides primary care at affordable prices in the heart of a São Paulo favela. Today, there are 29 dr.consulta clinics serving over 700,000 people annually across Brazil.
