And, finally, citing a great and exemplary health figure: “The most dangerous thing that can happen to an individual, a society or an institution that is part of it is victory. To accept it as final is to condemn yourself to losing it. Even in adversity, construction is possible. Ideal, belief and strength are enough to overcome injustice and mediocrity. When you fight for an ideal on a day-to-day basis, you can turn utopia into reality.” Aloysio Campos da Paz Junior Founder of the Sarah Network of Rehabilitation Hospitals
