Fundação Butantan

About Fundação Butantan

The Butantan Foundation was created on May 31, 1989, through public deed no. 133.326, drawn up at the 3rd Civil Registry Office of Legal Entities of São Paulo – SP. The Butantan Foundation was born out of the need to guarantee the effectiveness of the public health commitments of the Butantan Institute, embodied in the development and production of immunobiologicals for the Ministry of Health. Since its creation, the Butantan Foundation has continuously improved its internal processes to better fulfill its support activities, possessing its own formalized procedures specific to a private entity, which, however, must be guided by the observance of the principles of legality, economy, impersonality, publicity, morality, and efficiency.
