Hospital Cemil

What Hospital Cemil does

Hospital Cemil is a regional nonprofit acute-care hospital founded in 1978 in Umuarama, Paraná, Brazil, operated by the Associação Beneficente São Francisco de Assis. It operates 150 beds, 8 surgical suites, and 30 ICU beds (20 adult, 6 neonatal, 4 pediatric), supported by 150+ physicians and 370+ total staff. It is the reference general hospital for Northwest Paraná, processing roughly 25,000 outpatient procedures and 10,000 hospitalizations per year, with average monthly throughput of ~8,000 emergency/outpatient patients and ~1,000 hospitalizations.

The service offering spans emergency care, inpatient medicine, surgery, ICU (including neonatal), and outpatient diagnostics. Beyond clinical services, the institution operates the Centro de Educação Profissional São Francisco de Assis, a technical nursing school launched in 2019, and runs medical residency programs, creating an integrated care-and-education ecosystem that supplies its own clinical talent pipeline.

The revenue model is a hybrid public-private mix anchored by Brazil's Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), which reimburses approximately 70% of services at regulated per-procedure rates. The remaining ~30% comes from convênio (private health insurance, including an Unimed credentialing relationship) and out-of-pocket private patients. Supplementary revenue is generated from nursing-school tuition. Capital expenditure is partially financed through state-level grants and parliamentary amendments, including a recent R$250,000 award earmarked for ICU expansion, and a multi-year doubling of the physical footprint (~7,000 sqm of additional construction) is underway.
