Still according to information from the professionals who were interviewed by the report, the patients who were undergoing operations in the course would have preference even over oncological patients of the institution. The courses were coordinated by Naveg, an association created in May 2020 by the director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology, Paulo Ayroza Ribeiro, and his wife, Helizabet Ayroza Ribeiro, who is head of the Endoscopy and Endometriosis sector at Department.
The flagship was the postgraduate course in Gynecological Endoscopy and Minimally Invasive Gynecology, which earned more than R$ 2 million per issue. According to Santa Casa, which had an estimated debt of BRL 400 million, the course fees were being divided into two parts, with Naveg paying 70% and the hospital 30%.
