Law expands access to thrombolytics to treat heart attack and stroke through SUS

Portal O Dia4 September 2026 at 10:17

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed a law that expands access to thrombolytic medications through the Unified Health System (SUS). Thrombolytics are medications used to dissolve blood clots that can cause Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) and ischemic Stroke (CVA).

The new legislation aims to ensure that these medications are available more broadly in the Brazilian public health network. The objective is to facilitate emergency treatment for patients suffering from these two types of serious cardiovascular conditions.

The expanded access to thrombolytics may represent a significant improvement in mortality indicators related to heart attack and ischemic stroke, conditions that are among the leading causes of death in Brazil. The measure strengthens the SUS's capacity to handle medical emergency situations.

The success of the far-right leader shakes Australia

Pauline Hanson, leader of the Australian far right and founder of the One Nation party, threatens to break the bipartisanship that has prevailed in Australian democracy. At 73 years old and an admirer of Donald Trump, Hanson is preparing for a major electoral leap in the federal elections scheduled for 2028, with polls giving her 30% voting intention, above the Labor Party (in government) and the Coalition (liberals and conservatives), the main traditional forces. It is the first time that a third party surpasses traditional Australian parties in opinion polls.

Only 30 days remain until the next Brazilian elections, which take place amid the greatest institutional crisis of the New Republic. The three branches of government are affected by an unprecedented crisis of confidence, especially the Supreme Federal Court. Brazilians will choose a president, governors, senators, and federal deputies in a context where electoral programs compete for (and lose) the population's attention in the face of the erosion of ethical and moral values in public institutions.
