Largest Surgery Effort by SUS Brings Together Over 200 Hospitals and Promises to Reduce Wait Times with Support from Now There Are Specialists.

Brazil begins this weekend the largest surgery effort ever organized by the Ministry of Health, bringing together over 200 units across all states to accelerate care through the SUS.

The action involves public hospitals, university hospitals, philanthropic institutions, and accredited private facilities, which will be mobilized simultaneously to expand consultations, exams, and procedures.

The effort is part of the Now There Are Specialists program, created to reduce waiting times in the public network and respond to the increasing demand for specialized care.

Unprecedented Action Involves Over 200 Hospitals Nationwide

The surgery effort brings together nine federal hospitals and institutes linked to the ministry, as well as 45 university hospitals, Santa Casas, and philanthropic entities.

The scope of the action caught the attention of the Ministry itself, which classified the mobilization as the largest ever recorded in national territory.

“There are over 200 hospitals already registered. All federal university hospitals that had already done two efforts throughout this year, the last one in September.

And now we have had participation from Santa Casas, philanthropic hospitals, including some private hospitals that did not provide services through SUS but have started to serve through Now There Are Specialists.

Nothing like this has ever been done in SUS in Brazil,” said Padilha.

The inclusion of private units marks a step forward in the sharing of efforts, allowing SUS to gain more reach and reduce regional bottlenecks, especially in high-demand specialties.

Now There Are Specialists Boosts Wait Time Reduction in SUS

The program Now There Are Specialists leads the effort and expands the availability of surgeries, exams, and specialized consultations.

The strategy aims to minimize long waits, which have worsened in recent years due to increased pent-up demand and the limited availability of teams in some areas.

Thus, by concentrating care in a simultaneous national effort, the program aims to accelerate the release of wait times in areas such as orthopedics, gynecology, ophthalmology, and general surgeries, traditionally among the most sought after in SUS.

Moreover, the Ministry emphasizes that the effort strengthens coordination among different types of units — public.

Restructuring Federal Hospitals in Rio de Janeiro

During the announcement, Padilha reinforced the importance of recovering the structure and performance of the federal hospitals in Rio de Janeiro.

This restructuring seeks to modernize processes, expand teams, and requalify care flows, ensuring greater efficiency in service and more safety for patients.

Investment Reinforces Specialized Care in Baixada Fluminense

In addition to the national mobilization, the Ministry of Health announced an investment of R$ 85 million aimed at the municipalities of Nilópolis and São João do Meriti.

Thus, the initiative strengthens specialized care and expands the capacity for offering consultations, exams, surgeries, and hospitalizations.

The funding is expected to directly impact regions with significant pent-up demand, helping to improve the population’s access to essential procedures.

Surgery Effort Marks a New Moment for SUS

With the largest surgery effort in history and additional investments, the federal government signals a new phase of expansion and reorganization of SUS.

Thus, the joint effort among university hospitals, philanthropic units, and federal hospitals symbolizes a more collaborative strategy to tackle wait times and strengthen specialized care.

Meanwhile, the program Now There Are Specialists together with the Ministry of Health consolidates itself as the main driver of this transformation.
