The system will feature 80 radios, which is the only form of dialogue is available in many localities where there is no cellphone signal nor fixed lines.
the Special Secretariat of indigenous health (Sesai) bought 80 radios to form a network of communication between Special Indigenous Health District (DSEI) of Porto Velho (RO), the villages and the Poles-base. Of this total, 55 are radio with solar panels, for installation in villages without power. Previously, the communication was made personally only in some cases could take days. Investments in the purchase and installation of 80 equipment totaling $ 466 thousand
.
The equipment purchased are programmed to operate exclusively in HF frequency, the same used in the radio waves to broadcasting, as well as for communications with aircraft, ships, military services, etc. Due to the characteristic of wavelength, the transmissions can propagate up to great distances. Communicating by radio is the only form of dialogue is available in many locations, where there is no cellphone signal, nor fixed lines
.
For the Special Secretary of indigenous health, Antônio Alves de Souza, the action is in the strategic restructuring of the subsystem of indigenous health attention, facilitating the work of health professionals. “If we put a health team to act, without a framework of communication, she has poor starts. So the importance of actions such as the purchase of these radios. “
the DSEI Porto Velho meets an indigenous population of 10,079 inhabitants. Forty two villages in the District have access only by waterway. The offset to these communities lasts, on average, 10:0.
according to the head of the DSEI of Porto Velho, Lindalva Coutinho de Queiroz, the measure will speed care in villages where, for example, an Indian needs emergency care, or when unforeseen, as a car that bogs down. “The measure reinforces the importance of radio communication, to help us in the logistics of these consultations where time is critical,” said
.
in the first phase of installation, were recently delivered 25 equipment (which use electric power) for the Poles-base of Ji-Paraná (RO), Alta Floresta (MT), Humaitá (AM), Guajará-Mirim (RO) and Porto Velho (RO).
