Brazilian municipalities extend SUS contracts for oncology, dental and surgical services
The state of Acre signed a new agreement with a Ministry of Health programme to broaden specialised care offered through the public health system (SUS). In Vitória da Conquista, the municipal government approved a one‑year extension of its contract with Hospital Samur, allocating roughly R$20.2 million for continued oncology and intensive‑care treatment from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. The contract covers both clinical and surgical cancer care, and authorities noted that the hospital’s output was 38% above the contracted volume, with the radiotherapy waiting list dropping from 250 to 84 patients.
Matupá municipality postponed the deadline for proposals to supply 656 dental prostheses to SUS patients, a project valued at R$264 000 that will provide both mandibular and maxillary devices across seven local health units. Additionally, hospitals in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul were authorized to receive up to 300 % higher reimbursements for surgeries performed under SUS, aiming to strengthen surgical service capacity.
