Unimed leads Brazil’s health plan rankings
16 of the top 18 health operators are Unimed co-operatives

Unimed, the largest network of medical co-operatives in Brazil, continues to lead in quality healthcare. With independently managed co-operatives, Unimed operates in nine out of ten cities nationwide, guaranteeing widespread access to co-operative healthcare services.
In the most recent evaluation by the National Supplementary Health Agency (ANS), 16 of the top 18 health operators were Unimed co-operatives. This figure underscores Unimed’s dedication to exceptional service, patient care and co-operative principles.
“The Unimed System provides healthcare to over 20 million Brazilians, employs nearly 150,000 staff, and comprises about 20 per cent of the country’s physicians, who, through co-operatives, enhance health and quality of life”, stated Dr. Omar Abujamra, President of Unimed.
