The National Health Service (SNS) of Portugal currently has more than 10 million registered users, according to the most recent data available. This number represents the entire population covered by the public health system.

Regarding family doctor coverage, the most recent data indicates that 87% of the population has access to this health professional. This means that a significant portion of registered users still does not have an assigned family doctor.

The SNS covers the entire Portuguese population through its health units, from health centers to public hospitals, offering primary and specialized health care to registered users.

40th POPULAR MEDICINE CONGRESS REVIVES FATHER FONTES' LEGACY IN VILAR DE PERDIZES

Vilar de Perdizes, in Portugal, hosted the 40th edition of the Popular Medicine Congress, an initiative that over four decades has preserved and valued the traditional knowledge of the Barroso region. The congress, founded by Father Fontes, continues to be a space for meeting between the empirical knowledge of communities and scientific research, promoting reflection on ancestral medicinal practices, rituals, and the use of natural resources for treating diseases. The president of the Municipality of Montalegre, Fátima Fernandes, highlighted the importance of the event as "an affirmation of an ancestral culture" and paid tribute to the founder, describing him as "a force of nature" who contributed to taking these knowledges out of oblivion and projecting them beyond the village borders.
