The organization delivers public healthcare services under formal convênio (partnership) agreements with the São Paulo State Government's Secretaria de Saúde, providing free medical care to citizens through Brazil's Unified Health System (SUS). OSEC's core technology consists of physical hospital infrastructure — not software or digital platforms — including the Hospital Padre Bento de Guarulhos with emergency department (2 resuscitation rooms, 3 medical offices, 19 ICU beds including surgical, clinical medical, and emergency ICU) and the Complexo de Saúde Dr. Wladimir Arruda operating two outpatient units offering at least ten medical specialties (Cardiology, Neurology, Dermatology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Orthopedics, Gynecology/Obstetrics, Geriatrics, Rheumatology, Nephrology).

The organization's business model is entirely government-funded managed services. OSEC receives approximately R$ 24.2 million annually through two convênio agreements: Convênio 499/2023 (R$ 11.39M for emergency services, paid as R$ 949,176.70 monthly) and Convênio 501/2023 (R$ 12.78M for ICU operations, paid as R$ 1,064,626.81 monthly), with disbursements from the São Paulo state treasury (TESOURO-FUNDES). All healthcare services are provided free of charge to patients, with no commercial sales motion, pricing model, or private payer revenue stream. OSEC assumed operations at Padre Bento on June 5, 2023, taking responsibility for technical teams including physicians and nursing staff.

OSEC serves the Southern São Paulo region and Greater Guarulhos area, targeting public healthcare patients (SUS users) who lack access to private healthcare. The organization has multiple convênio amendments (1st, 2nd, and 3rd term additives) indicating ongoing contract evolution. OSEC maintains regulatory compliance with Brazil's Access to Information Law (Lei 12.527/2011), LGPD data protection requirements, and publishes transparency documentation including annual balance sheets (2023, 2024), activity reports, and provider payment disclosures on its public-facing portal. The organization's founding year is not disclosed in available materials.
