Municipality forbidden hospital on hill with risk of landslide in SC

The city council of Correia Pinto, a municipality in the mountainous region of Santa Catarina with a population of 16,000, has closed a hospital located at the top of a hill following a recommendation from the Public Prosecutor's Office of Santa Catarina. The decision was likely made due to concerns over landslides in the area, which pose a risk to the safety of patients and staff. This action highlights the potential dangers of operating critical infrastructure in geologically unstable regions. The closure could impact healthcare access for residents in the surrounding areas, prompting discussions about emergency preparedness and urban planning in vulnerable locations.
