Court of Justice of Rondônia Mateus Santos/g1 The Court of Rondônia upheld the conviction of the health plan operator Sul América Serviços de Saúde, which refused to pay for an air ICU for a baby. The company will have to reimburse the family R$120,000 for transportation and pay another R$10,000 for moral damages. The decision was unanimous. The case occurred in July 2024. The two-month-old baby presented a very serious condition of necrotizing pneumonia and lung abscess. As there was no pediatric thoracic surgeon in Rondônia nor adequate local resources, the emergency transfer to São Paulo became essential to save the child's life. The decision points out that the operator demanded highly complex evidence from the family, but this could not be done as the documents were under the control of the company itself. The text of the decision highlights that demanding bureaucracy from the family in a moment of despair, with the baby in serious condition, was an unfair and abusive demand. See trending videos on g1:
