In Mato Grosso do Sul, the municipality of Bonito received a federal micro‑bus to transport hemodialysis patients to Campo Grande, and Campo Grande’s Vira‑CG Saúde program added the Hospital Adventista do Pênfigo, investing about R$ 11.4 million to perform more than 1,200 surgeries and open five new ICU beds. Jaraguá in Goiás will undergo a R$ 100 million overhaul of its regional hospital, increasing capacity by 87 percent and adding new intensive‑care, delivery and diagnostic facilities. Sinop’s health department obtained R$ 5 million from a parliamentary amendment to fund orthopedic and otolaryngology surgeries, aiming to eliminate waiting lists.
