Government of Ceará wants to donate SUS Hospital to the Military Police
What’s more, the note brings numbers that attest an increase in the amount of care after the PM output and entry into the SUS. An example is the surgeries: in 2011 there were 35, and last year this number reached 3,703. The same happened with the number of births, which jumped from 280 in 2011 to 1,858 in 2024.
The idea of returning makes no sense because, when he left the police in 2011, there were few equipment and production was very low. From there there were reforms, acquisitions, hiring. And something from SUS cannot be given to an institution for restricted care. SUS is universal and free.
Prosecutor Ana Cláudia Uchoa, who signs recommendation contrary to the assignment
She states that if the bill is approved, the MP goes to court for understanding that it would be an illegal and unconstitutional assignment.
The state can do and give a hospital to the police, but it cannot reduce an existing service that serves such a needy population well. We are talking about a hospital that serves the 7.5 million Cearenses that depend on SUS.

Regarding the reserve of 70% of vacancies for SUS patients, the prosecutor says that the measure does not take the character that it considers illegal from the assignment. “First, the project does not talk about this reserve. In a meeting they presented a study saying that these 30% lost would be absorbed by other hospitals in the network, but that are already overcrowded, can not even meet their own demand, who will say to receive more patients,” says Ana.
