Bahiana receives international certification of suitability

A Escola Bahiana de Medicina e Saúde Pública just received the qualification certificate DUNS NUMBER – Data Universal Numbering System or Universal Data Numbering System – consultancy specializing in providing credit information, marketing databases, financial assessments and information for the analysis of purchases. The certification attests to the institution's suitability and increases visibility and agility in negotiations with national and international suppliers and customers.

Thousands of companies around the world consult this database on a daily basis, which is considered to be a very important tool for building secure relationships and for making decisions during negotiations. In this way, the DUNS NUMBER certification represents the inclusion of Bahiana in a global database that gathers more than 150 million companies in more than 220 countries.

"From this accreditation, we are not only able to carry out purchases and imports, but also qualified to raise funds via the US Development Agency. In times of scarcity of funding via national research funding agencies, the DUNS Number is already a way of preparing ourselves to invest in international fundraising for the development of science in our institution", explains Stricto Sensu's Dean of Research, Innovation and Graduate Studies Bahiana, professor Atson Fernandes.
