Our history

Tua Saúde was founded in 2007 by Tatiana Zanin, Registered Dietitian, and Adriano Frazão.

Our team of health care professionals has expanded and diversified over the last 15 years. With this growth, Tua Saúde has become the largest platform for online health information in Portuguese. It sits in first place for the most-accessed health website in Brazil and Portugal.

This journey has also led to the creation of Tua Saúde across several digital platforms, including Facebook, Youtube, Instagram and Tiktok.

In order to increase our readers’ access to quality health information without any borders, Tua Saúde launched its website in more languages in 2017. It is now accessible in Portuguese, Spanish and French.

In 2022, Tua Saúde was acquired by the Rede D’Or group to ensure that quality health services are available to readers actively looking for healthcare.  Tua Saúde is now a part of the largest network of health care services in Brazil. With this partnership, we are proud to offer access to booking medical consults, guaranteeing that our readers have a more individual, personal and holistic health journey.

Your Health (Tua Saúde) is now, more than ever, our first priority.
