Seven public and philanthropic hospitals in Rio Grande do Sul that were affected by the floods in April and May will receive support to recover and improve their management capacity after the disaster. The aid will come from two private hospitals, through the Support Program for the Institutional Development of the Unified Health System (Proadi-SUS), of the Ministry of Health.
Called Emergency Support for Hospital Management in Rio Grande do Sul, the project seeks to strengthen the public system in Rio Grande do Sul after the extreme weather event.

The seventh is being defined by the municipal health departments of Porto Alegre and the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
