The Ministry of Health published this Monday an order on competitions for positions at the top of the medical career, in which general and family medicine appears as the area with the most vacancies available.

According to the order, these competitions will contribute to increasing the number of health professionals in the National Health Service.

General and family medicine thus leads the number of vacancies opened for top medical career competitions, representing the area with the greatest need for filling positions.

The order from the Ministry of Health aims to strengthen the medical staff, particularly in the area of general and family medicine, which continues to be the most affected by the lack of professionals in the health system.

Iran: Trump promises to respond "with force" to Iranian attacks in the Middle East

US President Donald Trump promised on Monday a military response "with force" to missile attacks launched by Iran against US targets in the Middle East. According to Trump, almost all missiles were intercepted, so they do not pose a significant threat. Washington carried out the first attack against Iranian targets in about a month, hitting Larak Island in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, to which Iran responded with actions against American bases in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. Trump intensified his rhetoric against Tehran, classifying it as a "failed nation" plunged into "total chaos," and shared on social media an AI-generated video showing the destruction of Kharg Island. The conflict between Washington and Tehran began on February 28, and diplomatic efforts remain at an impasse.

Vladimir Safatle in interview: "Flavio Bolsonaro's victory is the end of Brazil as a national project"

In an interview with Expresso, Brazilian philosopher Vladimir Safatle states that Flavio Bolsonaro's victory represents "the end of Brazil as a national project" and argues that there is a sector of the Brazilian population that has made a long-term choice for the far-right. Raised between the political persecution of his father during the military dictatorship and Pinochet's coup in Chile, Safatle describes the far-right as a "conservative revolutionary force" and considers Brazil "the big problem for the USA today", while attacking the left for going through a deep "crisis of political imagination".
