Abstract

Access to and analysis of large volumes of data have become increasingly important for public health, especially for identifying trends, evaluating interventions, and planning health policies . In this context, public databases such as DataSUS (the data system of Brazil's Unified Health System) and the Gauss database (a health data repository) offer considerable potential for research and analysis. This project aims to collect data from various public sources, curate these data to ensure their quality and relevance, and implement a PostgreSQL database to facilitate access to and analysis of these data. Furthermore, the project seeks to populate the database with the collected data, creating a valuable
