Local Health Units need up to 870 nurses, Health Minister confirms

SAPO Notícias1 September 2026 at 16:05

Local Health Units need up to 870 nurses to meet their human resources needs, Health Minister Ana Paula Martins confirmed. The number represents the shortage of nursing professionals identified in these health units.

According to the Health Minister, approximately two-thirds of these needs are concentrated in the Lisbon and Tagus Valley Region. This means that the majority of the nursing deficit in Local Health Units occurs in that region of the country.

The information was reported by Ana Paula Martins, who acknowledged the extent of the human resources problem in the health sector, particularly with regard to nursing staff.

USA: House of Representatives approves short-term funding and avoids 'shutdown'

The US House of Representatives approved temporary federal government funding until December 11, avoiding a 'shutdown' in the middle of the electoral campaign. The measure was approved by 370 votes to 48, having already received green light from the Senate, pending only President Donald Trump's signature. The article recalls recent government shutdowns, including one lasting 43 days at the end of last year and another lasting 76 days at the Department of Homeland Security, and describes the budget impasse between Republicans, who want to significantly increase military spending, and Democrats, who advocate a bipartisan approach with parity in programs.

Moraes to be investigated at the STF? Find out the next steps after revelations of messages with Vorcaro

Minister André Mendonça, of the STF, sent to the PGR the new elements gathered by the Federal Police regarding the alleged relationship between Alexandre de Moraes and the former owner of Banco Master, Daniel Vorcaro. The material includes messages attributed to Vorcaro involving Moraes and the Attorney General of Brazil, Paulo Gonet. There is still no formal investigation against Moraes, and any potential opening of an investigation will depend on analysis by the court's plenary. Jurists consulted by CBN point out that, given the involvement of members of the court itself and the PGR, Mendonça should avoid single-handed decisions before a collective assessment.
