Waiting times in emergency rooms rise again for red and yellow wristbands

The Minister of Health recently stated that waiting times in hospital emergency rooms are significantly better than two years ago. However, available data contradicts this assessment, showing that the situation varies according to the clinical priority of patients. The red and yellow wristbands, which indicate urgent and less urgent cases, present different waiting times. The article suggests that, although the Ministry of Health points to general improvements, the reality on the ground continues to present significant challenges for patients with lower clinical priority.
