"Boa Vista is the first city in the North and Northeast regions to have the ZUP implantation. We are investing heavily in technology. These applications will help us both in serving the population and in the technical visits of the Semges team or the Sanitary Surveillance. Our work will be more efficient, faster and without errors. Starting tomorrow, the operation of these two systems will be put into practice.
