Hospital Erastinho

What Hospital Erastinho does

Hospital Erastinho is a specialized pediatric hospital located at Rua Dr. Ovande do Amaral, 201, Curitiba (PR), Brazil, inaugurated on September 1, 2020, and operated by Liga Paranaense de Combate ao Câncer as an operational unit of the Complexo de Saúde Erasto Gaertner. The 4,800 m², 56-bed facility serves children and adolescents aged 0–18, with a primary focus on oncopediatrics (clinical oncology, pediatric oncological surgery, bone marrow transplant, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hematology, and 24-hour oncological emergency) supplemented by general pediatric specialties (cardiology, endocrinology, genetics, infectious diseases, ENT, orthopedics, pneumology) and pediatric surgery (trauma/bucomaxillofacial, plastic, neurosurgery). Annual stated capacity is 17,000 consultations, 500 surgeries, and 85,000+ procedures.

The hospital's underlying technology centers on its Green Hospital design: it is the first Brazilian institution to simultaneously hold LEED for Healthcare (62 points, highest in Latin America) and WELL Building Certification, incorporating solar energy optimization, water reuse, and sustainable construction materials. Its differentiated offerings include a multiprofessional support layer (psychology, nutrition, speech therapy, social services, physiotherapy, occupational therapy) and the Programa Girassol patient-and-family support program. Underlying technology is facility-and-clinical rather than software-defined: no proprietary AI/ML systems, APIs, or apps are disclosed.

The business model is a nonprofit, multi-payer healthcare delivery operation with three revenue streams: SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) public-system reimbursement, contracted private health insurance plans (21+ providers including Bradesco Saúde, Amil, Unimed Curitiba, SulAmérica, Cassi, and Prevent Senior), and direct private pay, supplemented by a donation channel (online portal, bank deposit, PIX). Go-to-market is sales-led through referral networks (Basic Health Units for SUS) and insurance contracts, with appointments scheduled by phone and 24/7 emergency intake. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; SUS services are free at the point of care to patients, while convênio and private services are quote-based. The facility was financed with R$ 30 million from public authorities and organized civil society and has approximately 60 employees.
