The Kavanah Project was created with the mission of improving access to specialized healthcare in cities with long waiting lists for surgical procedures. Founded by students from the Albert Einstein School of Health Sciences (FICSAE) and supervised by Dr. Leandro Luongo de Matos, the project has the operational support of professors and clinical staff from the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein (HIAE), including the project's medical coordinator, Dr. Daniel Magalhães.

The name Kavanah, of Hebrew origin, means “intention or purpose”, reflecting the participants’ dedication to providing quality healthcare with a deep commitment. The project’s actions are not limited to surgeries; they also include supporting and encouraging local healthcare services to improve their internal processes, promoting excellence in all areas.

In Brazil, where more than a million people wait in line for elective procedures at the SUS, initiatives like Kavanah are essential. The project helps reduce waiting lists in the public health system, easing the burden on available resources. In addition to the immediate impact on the communities served, it provides valuable technical and practical experience for medical students, developing empathy, teamwork and leadership skills.
