Hospital de Cirurgia

What Hospital de Cirurgia does

Hospital de Cirurgia (HC) is a philanthropic, medium-to-high complexity hospital located in Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil. Founded in 1926 and maintained by Fundação de Beneficência Hospital de Cirurgia (FBHC), it operates 260+ beds across more than 20 medical specialties and is the principal SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) referral hospital in Sergipe. Clinical lines include cardiology with hemodynamic services, oncology (UNACON with chemotherapy and radiotherapy), orthopedics, pediatrics (recently resumed), diagnostics (clinical analysis laboratory and imaging including MRI, CT, ultrasound, and mammography), nephrology with a dialysis unit, and — as of January 2026 — the state's first liver and kidney transplant services. Ten medical residency programs are offered, including the only accredited neurosurgery residency in Sergipe. International activity began with a Brazil–Angola physician training partnership in 2025/2026. ONA Level 1 accreditation was obtained in 2024, making HC the first philanthropic hospital in Sergipe to receive it.

The operating model is anchored on public-payer reimbursement. The State of Sergipe, via its Secretary of State for Health, contracts HC as a SUS reference for medium and high complexity care; this single public payer represents the overwhelming majority of revenue. Secondary revenue comes from private and Ipesaúde (state public-servant health plan) patients using the clinical-analysis laboratory, plus philanthropic donations routed through FBHC. Pricing is governed by SUS per-procedure tables. Growth initiatives have been launched under a court-appointed administration (intervenção judicial renewed November 2024) that has governed the institution since 2018, which is the dominant governance and capital-allocation constraint for any prospective investor or partner.
