We have joined the Federal Government’s Farmácia Popular (Popular Pharmacy) Program in 1,015 pharmacies. This initiative, which offers essential drugs for primary health care at a reduced cost or free of charge, represents a significant effort to expand access to drugs, particularly for low-income populations. In practice, we make available our logistics network and points of sale, our agility in distributing drugs, and our quality of service to all beneficiaries of the Program. Another economic impact created is through the promotion and facilitation of hiring young people between the ages of 18 and 23 who are seeking their first opportunity in the job market, enhancing the strength of our social impact. Upon joining RD Saúde, young people gain an occupation, training opportunities, and a career development plan. In addition, we remain committed to investing in the Quero Ser Dev, Quero Ser Data, and Quero Ser QA programs, initiatives designed to open doors for those aspiring to enter the developer career path, even without prior experience in the technology field. To date, we have completed 12 classes of the program, including classes exclusively for women and black people. Since the beginning of the program, there have been more than 230 graduates, 105 of whom are women. In 2023, we partnered with Movitech, a coalition of organizations working from education to technology employability, building a strong and fair sector, with inclusion and equality. Additionally, 50% of the positions in this ninth edition were reserved for black women and 50+ people.
