Polydoro Ernani de São Thiago University Hospital
Polydoro Ernani de São Thiago University Hospital, Teaching hospital at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina in Florianópolis, Brazil.
The hospital is a teaching facility of Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina with modern medical departments and specialized care units. Its infrastructure includes emergency services, surgical facilities, and training spaces for medical education and research.
The facility was initiated in the 1960s as a medical teaching institution but took decades to complete and open to patients. This long development period reflected the growing healthcare needs of the southern region.
The outpatient clinic displays a large artwork by artist Antonio Rosicki that reflects the connection between healing and human effort. This visual element gives the building a cultural dimension beyond its medical function.
The center is accessible through the public health system without direct costs to patients and visitors can easily navigate its multiple departments. Visitors should check current access rules and visiting guidelines upon arrival.
The hospital functions as a major training center where medical residents gain practical experience in patient care and research activities. Its role in developing healthcare professionals distinguishes it from typical regional medical facilities.
