Produktbeschreibung

HEALTHCARE IN BRAZIL BREATHES THROUGH VENTILATORS. BY HENRIQUE PRATA, president of the biggest oncology hospital network in Latin America Who are the people in control of healthcare in Brazil? To Henrique Prata, many of these people are truly wolves in sheep's clothing. Sparing no facts and names, the president of the Hospital of Love in Barretos denounces the subverted values he has seen in his many years working with cancer care, and shows the reality of a system that seems to close itself off when dealing with vulnerable people, exploiting them when they need it most, and getting more money in the process. With a hopeful spirit and a lot of faith in the future, the author also shows the other side of the coin, reporting inspirational tales of heroes who save lives daily. He calls all readers to form a chain of good, whose goal is to face the struggles that make public healthcare of excellence so much harder in Brazil. As you read, you will understand: - How money dominates public and private medicine, becoming patients' key to life or death; - How public medicine is used to defend and strengthen private medicine in Brazil; - The positive and negative sides of medicine and politics in the country, based on the real and transparent reports written by Henrique Prata; - The challenges Henrique Prata has faced and continues to face as the president of the Hospital of Love; - How society can unite to make public health better, creating healthcare that's corruption and discrimination-free.

Autorenporträt

HENRIQUE PRATA is the president of the Hospital of Love, known previously as Barreto's Hospital of Cancer. A true entrepreneur, he is a farmer, an agriculturist, and a rancher, as well as a private and commercial pilot. He gave up his studies very early in life to start working. At fifteen he had already started working in his grandfather's farm. At 33, he embraced the toughest of jobs: managing the Hospital of Love. Without a medical degree, scrubs, or a stethoscope, he pursued what would become his life's mission: curing thousands of cancer patients with free, compassionate, and excellent care. As he managed the hospital and struggled to get funding - collecting donations from businessmen, farmers, artists, and public figures - he managed to transform it into one of the biggest oncology centers on the planet. In 2018, Henrique Prata was paid homage by the Chamber of Deputies with the Medal of Legislative Merit, recognizing his work on behalf of healthcare. His journey is an example of leadership and commitment to turning people's lives for the better, specifically those who fight against cancer. He has three other books published by Editora Gente: Love Above All, Providence and Love Above All - Stories. A man of faith, Henrique Prata has the mission of saving lives, and has traveled to 21 countries to learn the best practices in the world, implementing them at the Hospital of Love.
