SOCIAL SERVICE ACTING IN THE HOSPITAL AREA IN PUBLIC CALAMITY SITUATIONS
The ``Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre`` (HCPA) is a highly complex hospital that predominantly serves people through the Unified Health System (SUS). HCPA is located in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, a state where at the beginning of May 2024 it suffered a major flood, leaving many people and animals homeless. Several emergency shelters were established and boats were made available for rescue. Faced with the serious public calamity situation, HCPA suffered due to the lack of water in the city, which directly impacts patient care. The Social Service working in hospitalization in the hospital area was faced with the challenge of guaranteeing safe hospital discharges. There are several patients who were clinically ready to be discharged, but were very homeless due to the heavy rains that continued in the region.

The ``Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre`` (HCPA) is a highly complex hospital that predominantly serves people through the Unified Health System (SUS). HCPA is located in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, a state where at the beginning of May 2024 it suffered a major flood, leaving many people and animals homeless. Several emergency shelters were established and boats were made available for rescue. Faced with the serious public calamity situation, HCPA suffered due to the lack of water in the city, which directly impacts patient care. The Social Service working in hospitalization in the hospital area was faced with the challenge of guaranteeing safe hospital discharges. There are several patients who were clinically ready to be discharged, but were very homeless due to the heavy rains that continued in the region.
