Faculty of Public Health, University of São Paulo

The Faculty of Public Health at the University of São Paulo is a research institution with five departments focused on environmental health, epidemiology, maternal health, nutrition, and public health practices. It offers programs ranging from undergraduate studies to Master and PhD levels.

The institution began in 1918 as a Hygiene Laboratory through an agreement between São Paulo State Government and the Rockefeller Foundation. It later grew into a major academic center for health research and education.

The faculty serves as a center where professionals learn to shape health policies that affect people across Brazil. Walking through the campus, you can sense how knowledge developed here reaches communities nationwide.

The campus is located in Cerqueira César and has various buildings with classrooms, laboratories, and research spaces. Visitors should know this is an active academic environment, so it is best to explore during regular business hours.

The faculty established the first primary care center in Brazil, which became a reference model for medical and engineering professionals. This early model showed how research could translate directly into practical health solutions.
