    A Brazilian hospital chain has been ordered to pay 2 million BLR (USD370,500) to the family of a Covid-19 patient after giving him unproven treatment for the deadly virus without his knowledge.

    The Sao Paulo court sentenced the healthcare company Prevent Senior to pay the compensation after hearing that patient Carlos Alberto Reis was not cared for in ICU and was treated with drugs of unproven efficacy against Covid-19, such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

    According to judge Guilherme Santini Teodoro’s decision, there was a failure in Reis’ care. The court heard that the 61-year-old was displaying severe symptoms, but was kept away from ICU at the Hospital Sancta Maggiore and treated with a “Covid kit” of supposed therapies. He subsequently spent two months recovering in another hospital.

    The ruling came after a lawyer for a group of whistleblowing doctors alleged to the country’s parliamentary inquiry on the pandemic on Tuesday that Prevent Senior gave unproven Covid-19 treatments to patients without their knowledge.
