Hello All !!
I hope you all doing well,
I was advised to go through this website as i am stressed out about travelling to brazil !
My husband is going to travel to brazil for three months and he is planning to stay in rio. he wants me to accompany him. however i am very hesitant to travel as i am pregnant !
Added More i found many topics here talking about giving birth in brazil but they all seem scattered and unorganized. Many also are leaving bad comments and being very aggressive as they believe people are travelling to brazil for the need of a passport !
I went through many topics and i have the following questions :
there are two health care system private and public
in private:
1- I believe that perinatal hospital in rio is the top in rio ( however do i need to have a private obs/gyn to follow up there or i just go and follow up ? and do i need something called cmf number and sus ? and how to get these ?
2- Is there a good public hospital i can go to that is recommended in rio ?
3- I also read about the city Florianópolis that there are two good hospitals there but isn't it far city from rio ( i will definitely need a medical certificate to be allowed to board to the hospital) i dont know how to get them !
4- I have a 30 days , multiple entry valid for one year ! i will need to extend it ! do i have to go in person or shall my husband do it for me !
5- Is there any services that can provide help for foreigners and arrange these issues for them ? because i am really scared and worried !
6- i am a doctor and really worried about all these issues is there a community to help and assist me !
7- how to apply for cmf and sus numbers !?
8- i keep on emailing hospitals but none of them replied to me
9- Is rio safe for me to stay in !?
