This innovative project has already secured the follow-up of 103 pregnant women without a family doctor in just three months

TVI Notícias31 August 2026 at 13:13

An innovative project managed to ensure the follow-up of 103 pregnant women who did not have a family doctor, all in just three months. This initiative represents a response to the lack of family doctors available to follow these women during pregnancy.

The project is based on a nursing experience that has shown positive results in the follow-up of these pregnant women. Nursing professionals have assumed a central role in the surveillance and prenatal follow-up of these women.

The experience started in the city of Leiria, but will now be expanded to other municipalities in the district. This expansion aims to bring this model of care to more pregnant women who are without a family doctor throughout the region.

Why do real estate fund shares fall?

In the CBN Dinheiro program, financial specialist Marcelo d'Agosto explained the two factors that determine the decline in real estate fund share prices. The first, of a general nature, is linked to long-term interest rates, especially the remuneration of IPCA Treasury bonds: when these interest rates rise, the value of real estate fund shares tends to fall, as the monthly distributions paid by the funds become relatively less attractive compared to the higher returns available in Treasury bonds, causing the share price to adjust downward. The second factor is specific to each fund and depends on their individual characteristics.
