In the case of Dourados, the Ministry of Health reported that the amount allocated for the project is R$ 30 million, including resources for the implementation of the physical structure of the unit.

According to the municipal administration, this amount involves local government resources and federal transfers.
So far, there is no public detailing that clarifies whether the difference between the amounts refers to different stages of the project, budget complements, or different methodologies for calculating the total project cost.

The polyclinics proposed in the New PAC Health focus on expanding the availability of specialized services and strengthening diagnostic support in the public network.
In the case of the Dourados unit, the project published by the Ministry of Health foresees the installation of ultrasound rooms, CT scans, and areas dedicated to rehabilitation.
Areas for diagnostic imaging and graphics examinations are also planned.
The proposal also includes the implementation of the so-called purple rooms, aimed at welcoming victims of violence, in accordance with guidelines adopted by the SUS in different regions of the country.
Additionally, the unit will carry out minor procedures and clinical consultations, with the participation of medical teams and multidisciplinary teams.
