Brazilian Public Hospital Hyperbaric Center Reaches 29,000 Treatments

The Hyperbaric Medicine Center at Hospital Metropolitano de Urgência e Emergência in Ananindeua, Pará, has completed two years of operation, delivering 29,044 treatments since August 2024, including 9,933 in the first eight months of 2026. This service is unprecedented in the SUS of Northern Brazil, expanding free access to specialized therapy. The milestone indicates sustained operational capacity but no immediate market or geopolitical impact.
