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) has approved a project to establish a mandatory national protocol for the humanized treatment of women victims of domestic and family violence, aiming to ensure safe and respectful care. Proposals also seek to create a case manager role to provide continuous monitoring for women at high risk, drawing from models in Spain and the United Kingdom.

In the Senate, rules for surgical implants (PL 6.683/2025) were approved, and a bill requiring the Unified Health System (SUS) to implement rapid protocols for cardiovascular emergencies was passed. Other health initiatives include promoting responsible self-care within the SUS and a Manaus-based campaign for respiratory health in response to wildfires.

A major milestone has been reached regarding the rights of persons with Tourette Syndrome. Following Senate approval of Bill 1.376/2025, the legislation has been enacted as Law 15.492. This national policy allows individuals with the condition to be legally recognized as persons with disabilities based on biopsychosocial assessments. The law mandates specialized support in educational settings—with penalties for schools that refuse enrollment—and ensures workplace accommodations and access to multiprofessional healthcare. To assist with identification of non-visible disabilities, the law also authorizes the use of sunflower lanyard patterns.
