This information was provided by the National Director of Health, Artur Correia, at the daily press conference to update data on the evolution of the disease in the country. “We have a treatment protocol that includes chloroquine and is constantly updated. Whenever there are international recommendations from WHO itself, we adapt. It is an exercise that is not finished. In the protocol itself, a sentence saying that it is a dynamic process and that is being adapted, according to the recommendations of the WHO and international evidence, ”he said.
The use of chloroquine is advocated by the presidents of the United States and Brazil, but rejected by the medical community in some countries because there is no scientific proof of its effectiveness. Synthesized in the laboratory in 1934, it derives from the corner, a tree used by indigenous people to cure fevers long before the arrival of Europeans in America.
