Action in the Fight against Covid-19
Donation of hospital beds and equipment
During the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, the entire world needed the maximum mobilization
of governments, private initiative and society to treat patients infected by the Coronavirus. Among the
various initiatives carried out, partnerships between public authorities and private organizations were
established for the installation of field hospitals in the main cities of Brazil.
For the assembly of the field hospital in Belo
Horizonte, MG, Minasligas made a financial
contribution of R$ 3 million. The agreement
entered into with the state government
provided that, upon demobilization of the
hospital, the value would be returned to the
company in the form of hospital equipment,
which would then be donated to hospitals in
Belo Horizonte and in the northern region of
Minas Gerais, in the cities where Minasligas has
operations.

In Belo Horizonte, the Hospital Luxemburgo,
which houses the Instituto Mário Penna,
focused on cancer treatment, received
equipment and furniture for 9 beds in the
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and 20 beds in the
infirmary. The beds were used in the treatment
of Covid-19 at first. Today, they serve all areas
of the hospital, especially oncology.

The hospitals of Buritizeiro, Grão Mogol,
João Pinheiro, Pirapora, Salinas, Taiobeiras
and Três Marias received 28 ICU beds, in
complete sets of equipment for 14 rooms.
The Fundação Hospitalar Moisés Magalhães Freire, in
Pirapora, was one of the main care centers in its micro-
region for Covid-19 patients, with the help of the
municipal and state Health Secretariats and private
organizations such as Minasligas.
After the emergency period of the pandemic, the
hospital is renovating an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and
planning to expand the entire Emergency Room. The
equipment brought by Minasligas are fundamental
pieces in this expansion of the structure and care for
patients in the region.
"The participation of Minasligas in our hospital is historic and is not limited to the emergency of the
Covid-19 pandemic. The company has already carried out the renovation and expansion of several
sectors of the Hospital."
Farley Meira - Hospital Administrative Director
Hospital Municipal Dr. Rodolfo Malard, in Buritizeiro,
already had a shortage of furniture, equipment and
infrastructure in general, since before the pandemic,
which only got worse in the most critical period. The
hospital treated low-complexity cases, but the large
waves of hospitalizations were only supported because
of donations made by companies such as Minasligas.
Today, donated equipment and furniture are very
important for the functioning of the Semi-ICU, which
takes care of serious cases before being sent to
Pirapora. The benefit for the region's population of
nearly 30,000 people is enormous, especially in
outbreaks of endemic diseases such as dengue.
"The sum of public transfers and donations is what makes us able to work with a little more
tranquility and dignity for the population."
Bruno Santos - Hospital Director
In the Hospital Municipal Dr. Oswaldo Prediliano
Santana, in Salinas, there was no Adult ICU until before
the pandemic. Physicians needed to regulate patients
in the outpatient clinic and then refer them to larger
hospitals in the region. Many outcomes were negative
due to lack of care infrastructure.
With the donation of hospital beds and respirators, the
care of patients with Covid has become possible during
the worst moments of the pandemic. After that
period, they were finally able to set up an Adult ICU
that meets a high demand and is always at 80%
occupancy, since the city is on the side of a busy
highway, with a large number of accidents.
"During the pandemic, we were able to set up a Covid ICU that helped even larger cities, which were
without capacity."
Laiane Medeiros Ramos Lima - Hospital Director
In April 2021, with the start of the national campaign
"United by the Vaccine", which sought to ensure
vaccination of all Brazilians against Covid-19, we
decided to also dedicate ourselves to this cause and
donated essential items for vaccination in the cities of
Pirapora and Buritizeiro.
Syringes and needles of various specifications, boxes
for cutting material and other materials were sent,
among other materials necessary for municipalities to
stay in tune with the National Immunization Program
and be able to carry out well-structured actions to
serve the population.
