Health and longevity of the population

The article addresses the need for an interministerial and intersectoral plan for Health and Longevity in Portugal, warning of the gaps and sectorizations resulting from discontinuous political cycles. The author, Maria João Quintela, argues that Private Social Solidarity Institutions (IPSS) have been undervalued, despite being operational guarantors of social protection and integrated healthcare, especially given demographic aging. The text mentions that IPSS already developed studies on health and population diagnostics in 2016 and 2018, and calls for effective political recognition of the solidarity sector, which contributes to social and territorial cohesion, rather than continuing to impose constant adaptations without stable support.
