HC UNICAMP

What HC UNICAMP does

HC UNICAMP (Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas) is a public university hospital owned by the State of São Paulo through UNICAMP, founded in 1969 and operating as a 100% SUS facility that delivers free medium and high-complexity tertiary care to the Campinas region and interior São Paulo. It functions simultaneously as a clinical service provider, a teaching hospital for UNICAMP's Faculty of Medical Sciences (FCM), and a clinical research platform, anchored by affiliated units including Hospital Dia (outpatient/day hospital), CAISM (women's health), Hemocentro (blood center), Gastrocentro, and regional hospitals at Sumaré and Piracicaba, coordinated through DEAS. Operationally, the hospital reports 3,200 employees, 3,500+ daily visitors, 12,016 annual hospitalizations, 14,367 surgeries, 319 transplants, 51,387 emergency consultations, 2,166,971 laboratory exams, and 170,818 radiological exams in 2025.

The technology stack centers on the AGHUse hospital management system, advanced nuclear medicine imaging (Latin America's first public-hospital SPECT/CT-CZT plus PET/CT), the AGHUse-integrated Portal do Paciente patient portal, and a Telessaude telemedicine platform supporting teleconsultations and Tele-ICU services to ~20 regional hospitals. AI is deployed in specific clinical and operational contexts: AI-assisted 3D image reconstruction in SPECT/CT-CZT, structured-data process automation in AGHUse, and published machine learning research (e.g., COVID-19 mortality prediction).

Revenue is structurally tied to the Brazilian SUS reimbursement model, state and federal government appropriations through UNICAMP, and research grants from bodies such as FAPESP (notably R$8.6M for the SPECT/CT-CZT project). The institution holds consecutive Newsweek World's Best Specialized Hospitals rankings (top 300 globally; Endocrinology 96th; Pediatrics 185th in 2026) and certifications including PALC, Angels, QELCA, Somos 100% SUS, and the São Paulo Amigo do Idoso seal. Patient flow is referral-based through SUS, emergency intake via the Referenced Emergency Unit (UER), and specialized outpatient clinics, with no commercial or private-payer pricing.
