Regulatory and judicial actions against health sector entities in Brazil have emerged through various enforcement mechanisms. In Mato Grosso, Hospital Santa Rosa was fined by Procon for failing to comply with a subpoena regarding patient data, while a court in Mato Grosso do Sul convicted four businessmen for mask fraud involving irregular N95/PFF2 supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Further regulatory enforcement occurred in Maranhão, where Procon-MA imposed a R$ 7.2 million fine on Select Operadora de Planos de Saúde. The penalty followed investigations into service interruptions, lack of transparency, and failures to maintain an accredited hospital network in São Luís.
