The Federal Supreme Court (STF) decided that the State of Piauí is obligated to provide the medication Nintedanibe, worth R$ 31 thousand, to an elderly SUS patient diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. Minister Dias Toffoli rejected an appeal from the Piauí state government and upheld the previous determination requiring the medication to be provided, thus guaranteeing access to the treatment requested by the patient.
