Hospital de Amor (Barretos Cancer Hospital)
A philanthropic cancer hospital in rural São Paulo state that treats entirely through Brazil's public system, famous for mobile screening units and a large research centre.
Also called: Hospital de Câncer de BarretosFundação Pio XIIBarretos
Overview
The Barretos Cancer Hospital, renamed Hospital de Amor, grew from a small clinic founded by Paulo Prata in 1962 into one of the largest cancer hospitals in Brazil, treating patients from every state free of charge through the SUS and funded largely by donations and the country music charity events for which Barretos is known. It pioneered mobile mammography, cervical screening and skin cancer units that travel to remote regions, hosts a paediatric cancer hospital and a Molecular Oncology Research Center with strengths in HPV epidemiology, glioma genomics and cancer prevention, and runs hospital cancer registries and screening programmes used by national policy. Barretos was the first Latin American site for several international prevention and HPV self-sampling studies with IARC.
