The team training project carried out with tax exemption money has already saved R$ 548 million from public coffers
An unprecedented initiative involving some of the most renowned hospitals in the country is helping to improve the services offered by Single Health System (sus) and save lives. The Saúde em Nossas Mãos program has already managed to prevent 11,243 cases of nosocomial infections and save more than 4,000 people since it was created five years ago, according to an unprecedented survey released this week.
The initiative is from the Ministry of Health in collaboration with hospitals The German Osvaldo Cruz, Portuguese Charity of São Paulo, H Cor, Albert Einstein, windmills AND Syrian-Lebanese, all with international accreditation. The professionals of these hospitals train colleagues in more than 300 intensive care units (ICUs) of the SUS in the best practices to combat nosocomial infection, a major problem in closed units.
“When we treat very serious patients, nothing is simple: managing a respirator, changing a catheter, handling the patient, everything has a very high risk,” explained HCor CEO Fernando Torelly, representative of hospitals with the SUS program . “We go to hospitals, train teams, qualify them, monitor hospital infection indicators, help implement our hospitals protocols including team hygiene, patient management, among others. gold standard, equivalent to the best hospitals in the world, with a low number of infections”.

“When a patient has a nosocomial infection, they stay longer in the hospital, they spend more public money,” explained Torelly. “Also, he’s occupying a bed that could be used by another patient.”
