Health plans will have to offer hormonal contraceptive implant
ANS also approved, at a meeting on August 8, the inclusion in the list of modulated intensity radiotherapy (IMRT) procedures for the treatment of adult patients with anal canal tumors. Technology will have mandatory coverage in health plans from September 1st.
Another procedure analyzed was that of amniotic membrane transplantation, a procedure to treat patients with skin burns. But in this case, ANS decided to postpone inclusion because of the need for adjustments in the structuring of the National Transplant System and the operation of tissue banks, and for the technical regulation, clinical protocol and technical guidelines by the Ministry of Health.
