The Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu 192) is set to begin operations in Uberlândia, Brazil, on May 15, 2026. This announcement was made during a ceremony held on February 9, where representatives from federal and state governments, including deputies, councilors, and officials from various parties, were present to witness the handover of 11 ambulances designated for the municipality. The addition of this emergency medical service is expected to enhance the healthcare response capabilities in the region.

The detailed schedule for the activation of Samu in Uberlândia involves several critical steps leading up to its launch. The timeline includes the approval of professionals through a selection process by March 22, followed by the final training of teams by April 22.
