The ACCCC, founded in 1953, has a unique history in fighting cancer. The Center has pioneered all aspects of cancer treatment, education, and research in Brazil. The Institution was the first dedicated to treatment of patients with cancer (1953), to have a residency program in Oncology (1953), to establish a Pediatric Oncology Department (1964); to perform the first breast conserving surgery in Brazil; to partner with an International Basic Research Institute – The Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (1983 – 2010); to structure a Biobank certified by the National Research Ethics Committee (1997); and to implement a graduate program in Oncology in a private Institution recognized by the Ministry of Education. During all these years, the Institution has been providing prevention, diagnosis, treatment, education, and research (basic, translational, and clinical). Taken together, these activities show the pioneering role ACCCC has filled as a Cancer Center. Indeed, in 2011 the Institution changed its name from Hospital do Cancer A.C.Camargo to A.C.Camargo Cancer Center.

The Oswaldo Cruz German Hospital model of care summarises the efficiency and hospitality that mark the Hospital’s vocation to care for people’s health. The balance between tradition and modernity is the hallmark of the Care Team, which has always occupied a prominent position since its foundation in 1897.
Decisions on patient care are based on the best scientific evidence and take into account the patient’s life history and needs. Self-care education is also one of the fundamental premises of the hospital’s model of care.
Committed to the well-being of its patients, the Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz Care Model seeks to establish good relations between patients, relatives, physicians and employees.
The Care Team at Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz is considered one of the best in the country and stands out in Latin America for offering individualised, comprehensive and humanised care, always focusing on the patient and the family.
We generate and disseminate knowledge through investments to promote innovation, research and education. We train talent and support the development of professionals through technical, undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

The Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA) is a public university institution academically linked to the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) and is part of the network of university hospitals of the Brazilian Ministry of Education. Its history dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, when the idea of creating a teaching hospital was born. After decades of planning, technical obstacles and redefinitions of the project, the hospital was formally constituted in 1970 and started its activities in 1972. Since then, it has developed an outstanding trajectory in medical care, professional training and research, consolidating itself as a national reference centre.
Since its foundation, the HCPA has offered specialised and highly complex care, mainly through the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), although it also attends patients with private insurance. In partnership with UFRGS, it plays a key role in the training of undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as in the production of knowledge and technological innovation in health. Its commitment to social responsibility is reflected in educational, environmental and citizenship promotion actions, strengthening its role as a public institution of excellence.
Moreover, thanks to its efficient management model, the HCPA was the inspiration for the creation of the Brazilian Hospital Services Company (Ebserh), which coordinates the country’s university hospitals. Its hospital management system AGH, created in the 1980s, gave rise to the AGHU Project, adopted nationally to improve hospital administration. This set of initiatives consolidates the HCPA as an example of innovation, quality care and commitment to public health in Brazil.

The Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein is a reference for its quality in medical practices, state-of-the-art treatments and humanised care, in addition to the fact that it expands its frontiers through social responsibility actions and teaching and research activities.
With unique equipment in the country, a highly qualified clinical staff and also one of the largest transplant centres in Brazil, 95% of the procedures were performed by the Unified Health System (SUS).
Einstein Hospital has several accreditations and certifications – it was the first hospital in Latin America to be awarded the Planetree designation. It started its model in 2009 and two years later, in 2011, it received the designation that proves the humanised nature of its care.
We are committed to the humanisation of care and are concerned to pass this on to our students – both postgraduate students and medical students.
For the seventh consecutive time, Einstein Hospital was ranked the best hospital in Latin America by America Economia Intelligence magazine, among 43 hospitals and clinics.
We are a non-profit institution. Our aim is not to maximise financial results, but to make a commitment to patient care, quality and safety.
We do not only provide care, but also the entire health integration: promotion, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. What’s more, we have the qualified support for these activities through our teaching and research areas.

The Hospital Sírio-Libanês was founded by a group of immigrants from the Syrian-Lebanese community in São Paulo. The project was initiated in 1921 through the creation of the Ladies’ Benevolent Society, and after several years, the hospital was officially inaugurated in 1965. Since then, it has established itself as a private philanthropic institution of high complexity, committed to medical excellence and the humanisation of care.
The Teaching and Research service, created in 1978 and renewed in 2003, offers postgraduate programmes (lato and stricto sensu), medical and multi-professional residencies, courses, seminars and EAD, with a large volume of students and multiple annual scientific publications. It also stands out for its continuous investment in technology and innovation. In 2024, it was recognised as one of the 150 most innovative companies in Brazil, thanks to projects such as the Alma Sírio-Libanês hub, surgeries with 3D mixed reality and AI tools in population health.
The institution maintains philanthropic initiatives aimed at the Unified Health System (SUS), such as PROADI-SUS, social paediatric outpatient clinics and direct support to public hospitals. It manages units such as the Hospital Infantil Menino Jesus and the Grajaú General Hospital, benefiting thousands of patients free of charge.

The Amaral Carvalho Hospital, located in Jaú, São Paulo, is a philanthropic institution with more than 100 years of history, specialised in oncology and recognised as one of the main hospital entities in Brazil. It was founded thanks to the donation of land and funds by Domingos Pereira de Carvalho and Anna Marcelina de Carvalho, initially as Maternidade do Jahu, and over time it was transformed into a general hospital and then into a specialised cancer centre.
Today, the hospital is managed by the Amaral Carvalho Foundation, Brazil’s third largest philanthropic entity in oncology, which brings together several organisations linked to the hospital. The centre is a pioneer in oncology treatment in the interior of the state of São Paulo, with more than 2,000 bone marrow transplants performed and an annual average of 200 transplants, the most performed in Latin America.
The hospital serves more than 75,000 patients a year from more than 1,100 cities across Brazil, mainly through the Unified Health System (SUS), but also through private agreements. It has more than 2,000 employees, 300 beds and performs more than one million procedures annually, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgeries and hospitalisations.
In addition, the Foundation maintains an extensive network of social support and volunteers, with support houses for patients from outside Jaú, and has received numerous awards for its transparency, humanisation, quality of care and sustainability. Recent achievements include the opening of new units, national and international certifications, and awards for excellence in health and philanthropy.

In the mid-19th century, cholera was spreading throughout Brazil and killing more than 100 people a day. The doctor José D’Almeida Soares Lima Bastos, then president of the Portuguese Reading Cabinet, brought together members of the Portuguese colony and founded the first Charity Hospital in Pernambuco, which initially functioned as a resistance centre to treat the victims of the epidemic. In 1855, the Provisional Portuguese Charity Hospital came into operation. The 16th of September was chosen for the solemnity of the Hospital’s installation, a date of great gala for Portugal, which celebrated the accession to the throne of Pedro V, son of the Brazilian Maria II.
The Provisional Portuguese Charity Hospital, located in the Boa Vista neighbourhood, was inaugurated on 18 November 1855. The institution cared for 62 cholera patients in the first few months of 1856, and the hospital’s management received thanks from the President of the Province of Pernambuco, José Bento da Cunha, for the services provided to the capital’s indigent population, without distinction of colour or nationality.
By decree dated 2nd July 1856, with the aim of expressing the support of the Portuguese nation for the institution, the King of Portugal placed the Recife Hospital under his Royal Protection, an honour that was confirmed in 1862. Subsequently, a charter of 7th November 1907, granted by King Carlos I, conferred the title of REAL on the Portuguese Charity Hospital in Pernambuco, today the largest hospital complex in the North-Northeast.
MISSION
To be a health, teaching and research institution with a strong social commitment that provides integrated care with human, technical and scientific excellence.
VISION
To be a benchmark in safe and effective care, providing the best patient experience.
