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.
