+# Congenital microcephaly data set
+
+This data set was created using secondary data obtained from the Information System of Live Births - [SINASC](https://svs.aids.gov.br/daent/cgiae/sinasc/), hosted in the [DataSUS](https://datasus.saude.gov.br/servicos/) Institutional Public Repository of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics - [IBGE](https://www.ibge.gov.br/).
