Health patient committees from the Setúbal district warned about the suspension of voluntary pregnancy interruptions at Garcia de Orta Hospital in Almada. The IVG procedures were being carried out at a private clinic, and patients expressed concern about the possibility of this suspension becoming permanent.
Garcia de Orta Hospital is the reference unit for these interventions in the region, and its suspension raises questions about women's access to this reproductive health service in the Setúbal district.
Patient committees demand that solutions be found to ensure the continuity of this service, warning about the consequences that a definitive interruption would have for the female population of the region.
