The Local Health Unit (ULS) of São José was forced to reinforce body identification measures after a serious failure in the process. The unit's responsible parties admitted that established identification procedures were not followed, which resulted in the exchange of bodies.

The situation was considered serious by health authorities, leading to the immediate implementation of new security measures. The reinforcement includes more rigorous protocols to ensure the correct identification of bodies throughout the entire process.

The ULS of São José publicly acknowledged the failure and committed to preventing similar situations from occurring again. The new measures aim to restore confidence in the region's health services.
