He also mentioned historical names from Tocantins. “I cannot help but remember Siqueira Campos and Fenelon Barbosa, fundamental figures in the construction of Tocantins”, He stated.
Governor Wanderlei Barbosa highlighted the state's efforts to invest in health. “Twe have to be healthy even with the difficulties we have”, He stated.
He announced that, after the new hospital is delivered, the current Dona Regina Hospital will be donated to the city of Palmas. The proposal came from Senator Eduardo Gomes.
The new Women's Hospital will be made possible by a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), the first in the health sector in Tocantins.
The total investment is R$299 million. The new structure will replace the Dona Regina Hospital, with an increase of more than 60% in capacity. The unit will have 210 beds and a new House for Pregnant Women, Babies and Postpartum Women, with 20 beds.
The hospital will also have an obstetric-gynecological ICU, the first of its kind in the state. The number of neonatal ICU beds will also be expanded. The project includes a helipad, in addition to the maintenance of services such as the Human Milk Bank and Savis, which serves victims of sexual violence.
The company Opy Healthcare was the winner of the bidding process held at the B3 Stock Exchange in São Paulo. It will be responsible for the construction, purchase of equipment and management of the hospital's physical structure for 30 years. Clinical management will continue to be the responsibility of the State.
The hospital is scheduled to be delivered in 24 months. The contract states that the company will only start receiving payment for the services once the unit is fully equipped and operating.
