The City Hall of São Paulo announced a partnership with Ambev and Gerdau in the construction of a hospital for the treatment of Covid-19 patients. With 100 beds, it will be managed by the Albert Einstein Israeli Hospital and will be an annex to the M’boi Mirim Municipal Hospital – Dr. Moysés Deutsch. The measure aims to save lives and ensure that the coronavirus pandemic does not cause as much damage in our territory.

Exclusive Care Through SUS

The hospital will exclusively serve through SUS and will be built using a modular system developed by the company Brasil ao Cubo, which allows for structures to be built at up to four times the speed of a regular construction. Gerdau will supply the steel, while Ambev will cover the construction costs, estimated at R$ 10 million. The structure is permanent and, after the Covid-19 pandemic ends, will be integrated into the municipal health network.

The team from the Albert Einstein Israeli Hospital will have 200 of its professionals assigned to the new hospital, which will provide 24-hour care. Construction started this Tuesday (24) and the first 40 beds will be ready in 20 days. By April 30, all 100 beds will be completed.

Official Statement from AmBev

“We at Ambev Brewery, along with the City Hall of São Paulo, Gerdau, and the Albert Einstein Hospital, are joining forces to build a hospital with 100 new beds in 40 days. We will bring our experience in agile processes in project management and in covering construction costs, Gerdau will provide the steel and technical knowledge, and Einstein will support with a team of 200 healthcare professionals. We will leave a legacy for the city: this facility will be handed over to the City Hall of São Paulo to integrate into the city’s public health network. Last week, we took our first step in the fight against COVID-19, announcing the production and donation of 500 thousand units of hand sanitizer to hospitals. Now, we are taking an even bigger step. We are going beyond labels!” stated Ricardo Dias – the Vice President of Marketing at AmBev on his LinkedIn profile.
