Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Central is free for anyone searching, and SOS will always be free.

What language does it reply in?

In yours: Central replies in English, Spanish or Portuguese, the same language you write in.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Central is a WhatsApp contact: save +55 41 8476-7147 or use the search bar at the top of this page.

Does it work in my city?

For now in Curitiba, Campo Largo, Araucária, Campo Magro and Balsa Nova, in Paraná, Brazil. From anywhere else, SOS still gives you the emergency numbers, and Central notes your city down to add it.

Where do the places come from?

From open data: OpenStreetMap and Brazil's national registry of health facilities (CNES). Results are sorted by distance, not recommended. Check opening hours and phone before you go.

Do you keep my location?

Only rounded (about 1 km), so it doesn't ask on every message, and it is valid for 24 hours. To delete it, send APAGAR. Details on the privacy page.
