Mato Grosso healthcare legislation for women

Overview

Mato Grosso has implemented the Ana Carolina Aguiar Lima Law to enhance protections for women in healthcare settings. The legislation grants women the right to have a chosen companion present during consultations, examinations, and medical or surgical procedures, particularly those involving sedation or physical exposure.

Under the new law, healthcare facilities must ensure patients are informed of this right in writing before any procedure. The mandate also extends to the post-anesthetic recovery period, requiring that women be allowed a companion in observation rooms while the effects of sedation persist.
