Reportagem expõe déficit da Fundação Santa Lydia e reacende debate sobre terceirização

The Municipal Employees Union has long denounced the serious mismanagement by the Municipal Health Department, which insists on presenting outsourcing as a solution to the problems of public health in Ribeirão Preto. This policy contradicts the commitment made by the municipal government to its employees and weakens a service model built over the years by qualified, tenured professionals committed to the population. The report shown today on Jornal da Clube – 1st Edition highlights the risks of this choice. The Santa Lydia Hospital Foundation ended 2025 with a financial deficit and could become a real time bomb for public health and municipal coffers. Experts warn of the risk to the Foundation's continuity within the health system, while patients report having had to seek care in other cities due to the difficulties they faced. When questioned about the situation, the Municipal Health Secretary preferred to defend the Foundation. However, their responsibility as managers is to oversee the use of public funds, investigate any identified shortcomings, and demand quality service from the public.
