Instituto Projeto Neymar Jr. has formalized a partnership with IMD Medicina Diagnóstica, which will become part of the health monitoring program for the Institute’s students and young participants in Tripulantes INJR. The initiative expands access to diagnostic medicine services within the Institute’s facilities, including laboratory tests and blood collection, while strengthening activities focused on prevention and health monitoring.
The agreement was formalized during a ceremony held in the Institute’s auditorium, bringing together representatives from both organizations to mark the beginning of the collaboration. Those in attendance included Joel da Cunha, Executive Director; Dr. Daniel Terrivel, Social Director; Cesar Barella, Administrative Director; Dr. Alberto Terrivel, Medical Technical Director of IGESP; and Hellen Moreira, Technical Director and Executive Operations Director of IMD Medicina Diagnóstica.
Representatives from IMD and IGESP were welcomed by Altamiro Bezerra, Statutory Director of Instituto Projeto Neymar Jr., and José Benício da Silva Santos, Administrative Director. The meeting marked the beginning of a joint initiative aimed at expanding access to healthcare services and integrating diagnostic testing into the health monitoring routine of the students and young people assisted by the project.
As part of this new stage, an IMD Medicina Diagnóstica facility was also inaugurated within the Institute’s Health Center. The space now features its own visual identity and has been incorporated into the existing healthcare structure, bringing laboratory services closer to the community. Its installation makes it possible to integrate diagnostic procedures into the Institute’s routine and facilitate access to the health examinations provided for students and Tripulantes INJR participants.
IMD’s services include blood collection and other diagnostic medicine procedures, supporting health monitoring and the identification of possible changes that may require professional assessment. Making these services available within the Institute strengthens the organization of healthcare activities and allows preventive care to be integrated with the other programs developed for children, adolescents, and young people.
The laboratory is equipped with advanced technology and computerized processes that provide traceability throughout the procedures. Its structure also includes a specialized technical team and patient safety standards designed to support the testing process. These resources are part of the service model presented by IMD, with an emphasis on accurate results, organized procedures, and safety throughout each stage of care.
The arrival of IMD Medicina Diagnóstica represents an additional resource for the health monitoring program at Instituto Projeto Neymar Jr. By bringing laboratory diagnostic services closer to students and young participants in Tripulantes INJR, the initiative expands opportunities for health monitoring and prevention while strengthening the integration of healthcare, education, sports, and development.
Including laboratory tests and health assessments in the monitoring routine also helps increase access to health information and encourage preventive care from childhood and adolescence. Through this collaboration, Instituto Projeto Neymar Jr. and IMD Medicina Diagnóstica add another initiative to their efforts to promote health and quality of life within the community assisted by the project.
