abstract: Downloads and processes health microdata from Brazilian Unified Health System
  ('DataSUS') information systems. It handles the compressed 'DBC' format internally
  and provides functions to organize variables and add labels to categorical fields
  from mortality, live births, hospital admissions, outpatient care, health facilities,
  and notifiable diseases data. For details, see Saldanha et al. (2019) <https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-311x00032419>.
