Campinas Hospital Patients Transferred Amid Extended Power OutagePatients receiving care at the UPA São José emergency unit in Campinas, São Paulo, are being relocated to other healthcare facilities. The transfer operation is underway following an extended period without electrical power at the unit, which is currently undergoing renovations.
The relocation is being coordinated and executed using Samu (Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência) ambulances, Brazil's mobile emergency care service. The patients are being moved to other units within the Rede Mário Gatti hospital network to ensure continuity of their medical care.
The power disconnection at UPA São José was initially scheduled as part of the ongoing reform work but has been prolonged beyond the expected timeframe, necessitating the patient transfers to maintain safety and operational standards.
