Health Social Work

The WHO defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Social work is a scientific discipline that promotes human well-being, through intervention in social problems and personal relationships, using theories of behavior and social systems. 

In the field of the Mutual Fund, it focuses on caring for workers protected by a work accident or occupational disease, supporting them in situations of hospitalization, recovery, disability assessment and adaptation after an injury or illness.
