Brazilian healthcare service expansion

Overview

The Brazilian Ministry of Health has formalized an R$ 8.9 million contract with Hospital São Francisco in Belo Horizonte. This agreement is part of the ‘Agora Tem Especialistas’ program, which seeks to reduce waiting times for consultations, exams, and specialized procedures for patients under the Unified Health System (SUS).

The contract covers 1,476 procedures over one year across several medical fields, including cardiology, orthopedics, general surgery, gynecology, and oncology. Under the program, specialized services provided to SUS patients will be converted into financial credits to offset federal taxes. Additionally, Hospital São Francisco is undergoing structural expansions, including the addition of 70 new beds and a new surgical block.
