Brazilian healthcare and social protection legislative moves

Overview

The Brazilian legislature continues to advance several bills focused on healthcare and social protections. The Constitution and Justice Commission (CCJ) approved a project to establish a mandatory national protocol for the humanized treatment of women victims of domestic and family violence. This protocol aims to ensure safe, confidential, and respectful care in both public and private services, specifically prohibiting professionals from blaming victims or requiring unnecessary repetitive testimonies. New proposals seek to expand this support by creating a case manager role to provide continuous, personalized monitoring for women at high risk of violence, drawing inspiration from models in Spain and the United Kingdom. Additionally, the Chamber of Deputies is reviewing measures to increase penalties for feminicide under specific circumstances.

In the Senate, the Social Affairs Commission (CAS) approved rules for surgical implants (PL 6.683/2025), which require prior authorization from federal sanitary authorities to ensure biocompatibility and safety. Recent health-related legislative progress includes Senate approval of a bill requiring the Unified Health System (SUS) to implement rapid protocols for cardiovascular emergencies, such as the use of thrombolytic drugs in emergency units. Other initiatives include a project to encourage responsible self-care within the SUS and the establishment of a National Self-Care Day on July 24.

Significant progress remains regarding the National Policy for the Protection of the Rights of Persons with Tourette Syndrome (Bill 1.376/2025), which moves toward presidential sanction. Other ongoing legislative movements include amendments for the early detection of adenomyosis, proposals to replace fixed prenatal exam lists with clinical guidelines, and a campaign in Manaus to promote respiratory health in response to air pollution and wildfires.
