• The court set R$600,000 for Flávio Dino and R$600,000 for his former wife, totaling R$1.2 million.
• Dino said the entire indemnity will be donated, stressing that the significance lies in the recognition of responsibility.
• Marcelo, 13, died in 2012 after an asthma crisis at the facility; the family alleged the pediatric ICU doctor abandoned her post, while a doctor and a nurse were acquitted in 2018 for lack of evidence in a separate criminal case.
• Dino used the ruling to press for approval of mandatory periodic hospital quality reviews in PL 287/2024; the hospital group had not responded to media requests.
