Executive director of the NHS went to learn about hospital problems

Diário de Aveiro30 August 2026 at 07:45

The executive director of the National Health Service visited a hospital to directly learn about the problems faced by the health unit. During the visit, several concerns affecting the operation of the institution were identified.

One of the main issues pointed out was the "structural deficit" of nurses and health auxiliaries, which represents a significant challenge for the hospital's response capacity. This lack of human resources has a direct impact on the services provided to users.

"LIMITATIONS" in the current Emergency department of the hospital were also identified, suggesting that the facilities or available resources are not sufficient to meet demand. This situation may compromise the quality of care provided to patients who use this service.

Another concern mentioned was the "insufficient capacity" of the Operating Theatre, which limits the ability to perform surgeries and may generate longer waiting lists for patients who need surgical intervention.

50 intense years of Mission

Father John Kingston, an Irish Spiritan priest, celebrates 50 years of missionary priesthood, having served in Angola, Rome, Dublin, and Mozambique. Ordained in 1976, he was immediately sent to Angola during the brutal civil war, where he was ambushed in 1985, resulting in the death of his French priest companion and serious injuries that followed him for the rest of his life. After working on Spiritan formation in Huambo and serving as Episcopal Vicar for Religious, he was appointed Master of Novices in Dublin and later General Councillor in Rome (2004-2012). He returned to Mozambique in 2013, where he continues at the mission of Inhazónia, in Chimoio.
