O Nora Teixeira Hospital, which will be opened in Porto Alegre this Thursday at the Santa Casa Complex, it was planned focused on financial sustainability. The initial project, however, was born from the need for a new emergency dedicated to users of the Unified Health System (SUS). A visit by Nora Teixeira to the site gave rise to the challenge, presented by the businesswoman to the institution’s board, of building a restructuring project. Nora’s husband, businessman Alexandre Grendene committed to the initial investment of R$40 million in the project.
Given the SUS deficit, Santa Casa considered a more ambitious project, not only resolving the Emergency sector, but also focusing on the sustainability of the SUS in the institution in the long term. With the direct support of the project’s initial promoters, Nora and Alexandre, other families, institutions, companies and the State Government joined the cause. The Grendene couple doubled the value of the donation, bringing the amount to R$80 million. In total, donations totaled more than R$234 million. The total cost of building the new hospital cost R$284 million. Care for private patients and health insurance plans will generate revenues considered essential for addressing the deficit generated by SUS care, currently around R$150 million per year.
Of the total of more than 1 million annual services provided by Santa Casa de Porto Alegre, 71% are via SUS. The restructuring and modernization of the complex’s internal accesses will also be inaugurated, with Rua Coberta and a new system of walkways, connecting all hospital units.
