The amount available for the expansion is R$ 217 million this year
The government wants to increase the number of organ transplants and bone marrow in the country. For this, two orders of the Ministry of Health standards with incentives for hospitals were published today in the Official Gazette
The transplant industry gets boost with the creation of financial incentives to hospitals that perform surgeries in public health. The amount available to fund this initiative could reach R$ 217 million this year.
Under the new rules, hospitals that do four or more types of transplants - they meet the indicators defined by the ordinance - may receive an incentive of up to 60% over spent on the transplant procedures already paid by the Ministry of Health
For hospitals that are three types of transplants, the feature will be 50% more than currently paid. The units that make two or only one type of transplant will receive 40% and 30% above, respectively.
According to the Ministry of Health, the idea is to increase the incentive according to the number and complexity of transplants. In addition to payment for the transplant, the incentive may help to maintain longer a patient in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit), if applicable.
The hospitals that do kidney transplant have a specific adjustment of 30% to stimulate the implementation of procedures and reduction in the number of people waiting for organ. The amount paid for kidney transplants from deceased donors rises from R$ 21,200 to R$ 27,600. In cases of kidney transplant from a living donor, the value rises to R$ 16.3 to R$ 21.2 thousand.
