Itapissuma

Itapissuma is a municipality in northeastern Brazil positioned near sea level and part of the Recife metropolitan region. The town combines rural characteristics with proximity to urban centers.

The municipality was officially founded in 1982, gaining administrative independence within Pernambuco state. This founding marked its separation from neighboring administrative territories.

The people here, called Itapissumenses, keep local ways alive while being part of the larger Recife metropolitan region. The town holds its own identity while staying connected to its neighbors.

The municipality has two hospitals providing healthcare services and good connections to surrounding cities. Visitors should expect a smaller administrative center with basic services and facilities.

The place has one of the lowest child mortality rates in the Recife region. This reflects strong healthcare practices that stand out for a municipality of its size.
