Dr. Edson Liberal is President of the Society of Pediatrics of the State of Rio de Janeiro.

“I support the Trata Brasil Institute due to the importance of the issue, as there is no good quality of public health without broad coverage in basic sanitation. Worrying about the issue is the duty of every health professional. As a pediatrician, it is even more important and urgent, because the consequences of infections resulting from the lack of sanitation lead to high rates of infant mortality.”
