Readjustment minimizes overload in municipalities
The Ministry of Health announced a 30% increase in the amounts earmarked for funding the Mobile Emergency Service (Samu 192). The percentage represents, according to the portfolio, an increase of R$ 396 million per year in transfers.
“With the readjustment, the total allocated to the service will increase from R$ 1.3 billion to R$ 1.7 billion per year. The increase seeks to minimize the burden on municipalities and is also a way to encourage the universalization of Samu 192, which since 2013 has not received an update in costing values”, informed, in a note, the ministry.
According to the ministry, a new bidding process will be completed later this year, with a view to expanding the fleet. The planned investment is R$ 842 million for the acquisition of 1,886 new vehicles, with 1,633 units being distributed for fleet renewal; 185 will go to new Basic Support (USB) units; and 68 vehicles will serve the new Advanced Support (USA) units.
“The current vehicle supply contract still has 239 new units to be delivered this year. The vehicles will be used to renew the Samu 192 fleet for the years 2015 and 2016”, informed the ministry.
The new vehicles will be distributed in 16 states:
– 47 units for the state of Bahia;
– 47 units for the state of Minas Gerais;
– 33 units for the state of Ceará;
– 29 units for the state of Paraíba;
– 20 units for the state of São Paulo;
– 15 units for the state of Paraná;
– 12 units for the state of Goiás;
– 12 units for the state of Piauí;
– 8 units for the state of Rio Grande do Sul;
– 5 units for the state of Santa Catarina;
– 3 units for the state of Roraima;
– 2 units for the state of Maranhão;
– 2 units for the state of Pará;
