About
The Center for Integration of Data and Knowledge for Health (Cidacs) at Fiocruz Bahia conducts interdisciplinary research and data-driven studies that leverage massive health datasets, including the 100‑million‑Brazilian cohort, the Zika platform, and initiatives on SUS technologies, urban equity, bioinformatics, and genetic epidemiology. By developing innovative investigative methodologies and offering professional and scientific training, Cidacs transforms complex data into actionable insights for health policy and public decision‑making. Its multidisciplinary teams—spanning epidemiology, collective health, statistics, economics, bioinformatics, and computer science—are dedicated to generating cutting‑edge scientific knowledge on the social, environmental, and policy determinants of population health. This work supports evidence‑based public policies that improve health outcomes across Brazil.
