Hospital Manoel Novais - SCMI

What Hospital Manoel Novais - SCMI does

Hospital Manoel Novaes is a maternal-child hospital unit operating within the Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Itabuna (SCMI) complex in Itabuna, Bahia, Brazil. Founded in 1916, SCMI is a philanthropic (filantrópica) nonprofit institution governed by an elected Provedoria and serves as a SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) reference center for patients across 89 municipalities in southern Bahia. Hospital Manoel Novaes specializes in gynecology, obstetrics, high-risk neonatology, pediatric surgery, and houses the UNACON high-complexity oncology unit delivering radiotherapy with brachytherapy and chemotherapy services. It also operates a Human Milk Bank (Banco de Leite Humano) and is accredited for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Golden Hour project for pediatric oncology rapid response.

The hospital's revenue model is overwhelmingly anchored in SUS public healthcare funding, with the Government of Bahia maintaining a R$48 million annual contract for the SCMI complex. Capital expansion is supplemented through the federal Pronon program (R$12.8 million approved in late 2025 for MRI acquisition and brachytherapy modernization), municipal government partnership with Itabuna, and community fundraising events such as the Arraiá da Misericórdia. Ancillary revenue includes a Clube de Vantagens (Benefit Club) affiliate program and cemetery services from Cemitério Campo Santo (founded 1925). Services are provided at no direct cost to patients, who access the facility through SUS referrals, emergency services, and community health programs.

Distribution is entirely through the SUS public healthcare network, with no commercial insurance or private-pay channel of meaningful scale. Recent strategic activity (2024-2026) demonstrates active modernization: previously outsourced services — laboratory, imaging, and ICUs — were brought back under direct management; new linear accelerator, CT scanner, and planned 3.0T MRI equipment are being deployed; 42 renovated beds at Pavilhão Francisco Ferreira were delivered; and Hospital São Lucas was reopened with 27 SUS-only clinical beds. SCMI also operates medical residency programs in Pediatrics and Gynecology/Obstetrics (the first in southern Bahia, established 1995) and pursues international partnerships, including with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and exploratory discussions with Hospital Sacro Cuore Don Calabria in Italy.
