What Faepa does

FAEPA (Fundação de Apoio ao Ensino, Pesquisa e Assistência do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo) is a private non-profit foundation established on August 31, 1988, with administrative and financial autonomy, linked to the Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto (HCFMRP-USP) of the University of São Paulo. Its functional mandate is to support the teaching, research, and patient-care missions of the affiliated medical school by providing administrative, financial, and operational infrastructure. The foundation operates as an outsourced manager of public healthcare facilities, currently running nine hospitals and outpatient units across São Paulo state — including Hospital Estadual de Ribeirão Preto (HERP), Hospital Estadual Américo Brasiliense (HEAB), Hospital Estadual Serrana (HES), Hospital das Clínicas de Bauru (HCB), Hospital Estadual de Franca (HRTC), Centro de Referência da Saúde da Mulher (MATER), Clínica Civil, and AME Taquaritinga. Underlying technology is conventional healthcare administration: internal portals for HR, payroll, supplier onboarding, and procurement transparency, plus compliance and LGPD data-protection infrastructure.

FAEPA's business model is contract-driven and government-funded. Revenue is derived primarily from Contratos de Gestão (5-6 year management contracts) with the Secretaria Estadual de Saúde de São Paulo (SES-SP) for operating state hospitals, supplemented by convênios with municipal governments (Ribeirão Preto, Franca), federal Ministry of Health agreements, BNDES non-reimbursable financing, PRONON/PRONAS-PCD program funding, and OPAS/PAHO technical-cooperation agreements. FAEPA does not set its own pricing — services are delivered under SUS (Unified Health System) fee schedules and government-negotiated per-capita budgets. The customer base is entirely public-sector: state and municipal health authorities as direct contracting counterparties, and SUS patients as end users. Distribution is direct via the physical hospital network. The marketing approach is institutional transparency rather than commercial demand generation, with annual reports, a compliance program launched in November 2023, and social-media presence on Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and YouTube (TV Complexo).
