Overview

  • The Ministry of Health, São Paulo state, the University of São Paulo’s medical faculty and Hospital das Clínicas signed a cooperation act to establish a smart emergency institute as a national digital‑health reference.
  • São Paulo committed to cede the land, a BRICS Bank technical mission has inspected the site, and the bank now moves to its final evaluation.
  • The proposal requests roughly R$1.7 billion in development financing and targets completion three years after funding approval.
  • Plans outline about 150,000 m² of facilities and 800 beds focused on emergency care, intensive care and neurology, with AI, IoT, big data, telehealth, 5G ambulances and predictive management systems.
  • The hospital anchors a wider high‑precision network that would add 14 intensive care units across Brazil and modernize centers in Rio de Janeiro and the Federal District.
