Governor Geraldo Alckmin signed this Friday afternoon, 24th, at Palácio dos Bandeirantes, in São Paulo, a management agreement for the new Piracicaba Regional Hospital. The service will offer medium and high complexity care for the entire Piracicaba region, and will be managed by Unicamp. The rector of Unicamp, professor Marcelo Knobel, participated in the ceremony.
"It is a joy for Unicamp, a satisfaction, to be able to collaborate with the State Government in this important project for the city of Piracicaba, for the region and I am sure that we will work hard to soon have a reference hospital in the entire region , with the Unicamp brand", said rector Marcelo Knobel, at the end of the contract signing.
The State Government's total investment is approximately R$32 million, considering resources already used in works and intended for the purchase of equipment and furniture, which are in the acquisition phase. The hospital will be fully funded with resources from the state treasury, and will receive R$35,8 million in funding in its first year of operation.
The inauguration of the Piracicaba Regional is scheduled for March 2018 and its activation will be gradual, like any new health service. The complete structure covers 138 beds, of which 84 are inpatient, 20 in the Adult ICU, 27 in minimum care, 7 in Day Hospital, in addition to 10 operating rooms and the imaging diagnostic center. The total built area is more than 18,7 square meters. Initially, 60 beds will come into operation - 30 surgical, 20 clinical and 10 adult ICU - and four surgical rooms, as well as outpatient care.
In 2018, the estimate is that the Hospital will carry out more than 18,6 medical and non-medical outpatient consultations, 11,7 exams, 3,3 surgeries and 2 hospitalizations. The emergency room will be referenced, with a forecast of approximately 300 emergency visits for complications of patients previously treated by the service.
The Piracicaba Regional Hospital will be a reference in medium and high complexity for the 26 municipalities in the Piracicaba Regional Health Department (DRS) region. It will offer ten medical specialties on an outpatient basis: Orthopedics/Traumatology, Ophthalmology, Otorhinolaryngology, Anesthesiology, Oral and Maxillofacial, and General Surgery Medical Clinic.
