This is made possible through the dedication of approximately 4,000 healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, social health workers, physiotherapists, speech therapists, social workers, occupational therapists, and developmental neuropsychomotor therapists.
A trusted partner of the National Health System, the cooperative has been a key player in Integrated Home Care since its inception and is now among the most significant organizations in this field.
Additionally, OSA delivers a wide range of socio-health services nationwide, including the management of residential facilities for the elderly and people with disabilities, hospital outsourcing, rehabilitation healthcare, social assistance, and socio-educational services.
