Barretos Cancer Hospital

What Barretos Cancer Hospital does

Hospital de Amor (formerly Barretos Cancer Hospital), founded in 1962, is a Brazilian nonprofit cancer institution headquartered in Barretos, São Paulo, that provides comprehensive oncology care to patients served through Brazil's public Unified Health System (SUS). It operates a nationwide network of Prevention, Treatment, and Rehabilitation units, delivering services across oncology specialties including head and neck, lower digestive, melanoma, thoracic, urology, and pediatric oncology (HA Infantojuvenil), plus palliative care, rehabilitation, and botulinum toxin therapy for cancer-related indications. The institution is home to the Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa (IEP), which runs clinical-research programs and trains oncologists, and is currently developing a new Clinical Research and Robotic Surgery Center.

The business model is donation- and reimbursement-funded rather than commercial. Services are provided free of charge to SUS patients; funding flows from a combination of SUS reimbursements, individual donations, and corporate giving channeled through a formal tax-incentive framework (IRHA - Incentivos Fiscais). Governance is via a board, with disclosure of statutory documents, annual reports, and council members on the website, and day-to-day clinical leadership under Technical Director Dr. Edmundo Carvalho Mauad (CRM/SP: 36034). The institution is actively investing in capacity: it is upgrading pediatric retinoblastoma treatment through a partnership with the International Lions Foundation, training palliative-care professionals, and launching the PESCE 2026 community health-education agenda. With 1,001-5,000 staff and a multi-unit presence throughout Brazil, Hospital de Amor is one of the country's larger dedicated oncology institutions, though no revenue figures, funding rounds, or financial disclosures are available in the source data.
