ULS da Lezíria installs the first modular room in the Iberian Peninsula for preparation of oncological medicines

Correio do Ribatejo1 September 2026 at 16:40

The Local Health Unit (ULS) of Lezíria received the first modular room installed in the Iberian Peninsula for the preparation of cytotoxic medicines used in oncological treatments. The new structure was developed by the company Grifols Engineering and was delivered on Monday.

The investment in this modular room amounted to approximately 600 thousand euros. The structure will be installed next to the facilities of ULS of Lezíria, allowing the improvement of the conditions for preparation of these medicines used in the treatment of oncological patients.

Cytotoxic medicines require special preparation conditions due to their toxicity and the need to guarantee the safety of both health professionals and patients. This modular room represents a significant advance in the infrastructure available in the Lezíria region for the treatment of oncological diseases.

The article addresses the fundamental question of whether a machine can be conscious. Although artificial intelligence is increasingly able to imitate human capabilities, doubt remains as to whether it will ever be able to experience the world subjectively. A new study proposes a different approach: instead of asking whether current AIs are conscious, it suggests examining what the biological brain can teach us about the possibilities of future artificial consciousness.

Dr. Heber Videira Connects Science and Public Policies

Dr. Heber Simões Videira, a medical physicist with 19 years of experience in Nuclear Medicine, traced a trajectory that began in public school and led him to radioisotope production, radiopharmacy, logistics, and regulation. Graduated through the Family School Program of the São Paulo state government, he was a Physics teacher before entering the medical field, where he found a profession that unites science, technology, and social impact. Today, Heber uses his technical experience to contribute to public policy debates, such as Bill 2167/2025, seeking to give back to society the opportunities he received through public education and science policies.
