Profile
Acispes is the common acronym for Agência de Cooperação Intermunicipal em Saúde Pé da Serra. The organization is headquartered in Brazil. It functions as an inter‑municipal health cooperation agency operating within the country's public health system.
Acispes provides administrative support services to the municipalities that participate in its consortium. It also delivers healthcare support functions aimed at improving service delivery across member cities. By design, the agency serves multiple municipalities in the Pé da Serra region, enabling joint health initiatives.
On 22 May 2023, Acispes was subjected to a cyber attack. The attack compelled the temporary suspension of all its administrative and healthcare support functions. In response, the agency coordinated with relevant authorities to manage the incident and began restoration efforts.
The disruption highlighted Acispes' dependence on digital infrastructure for carrying out its mandated tasks. Despite the setback, the organization has communicated its commitment to restoring normal operations. Ongoing work focuses on securing systems and resuming support for member municipalities.
As a public entity formed by municipal cooperation, Acispes remains accountable to the health authorities of Brazil. Its structure enables collective decision‑making and resource sharing among participating cities. The agency continues to pursue its mission of strengthening regional health cooperation after the incident.
