Representantes do Consulado dos Estados Unidos no Rio de Janeiro visitaram, nesta quarta-feira (16), o Hospital Geral de Nova Iguaçu (HGNI), unidade referência no atendimento de traumas na Baixada Fluminense. A agenda teve como objetivo conhecer de perto a estrutura, os protocolos de atendimento e o funcionamento do hospital, que integra o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).

A visita foi motivada, entre outros fatores, pela repercussão internacional do relato do jornalista Terrence McCoy, do Washington Post, que elogiou publicamente o atendimento gratuito que recebeu após um acidente em Paraty (RJ). O caso gerou interesse sobre o modelo de saúde pública brasileiro e sua atuação em casos envolvendo cidadãos estrangeiros.

Segundo o oficial consular Tanner Fagan, a aproximação visa aprimorar a capacidade de resposta do consulado em situações de emergência.

“É importante estarmos preparados para apoiar qualquer americano que precise de atendimento. Entender o funcionamento do HGNI nos permite agir de forma mais eficiente, com soluções antes que problemas ocorram”, afirmou o oficial consular Tanner Fagan.

Durante a visita, foram discutidas possibilidades de cooperação entre os dois países na área da saúde, incluindo parcerias e programas de intercâmbio entre profissionais brasileiros e norte-americanos.

Para o diretor-geral do HGNI, Ulisses Melo, a agenda reflete o reconhecimento da unidade no cenário estadual. “O SUS é uma conquista brasileira. Ver o interesse internacional é um sinal claro de que estamos no caminho certo — e que nosso modelo, mesmo com seus desafios, inspira até quem já foi capa de embate diplomático.”
