São Paulo Court Denies Public Funding for Wegovy Weight-Loss Medication

The São Paulo Court of Justice (TJSP) upheld a lower court ruling denying a patient's request for the state to provide the weight-loss drug Wegovy. The court cited the drug's absence from the Unified Health System (SUS) formulary and a negative technical opinion from the health advisory body NatJus, reinforcing judicial precedent regarding the limits of state-funded pharmaceutical access.
