Union concerned about lack of radiology technicians in the Region

dnoticias.pt1 September 2026 at 17:05

The response to patients in Madeira in the area of radiology is being limited by the lack of human resources. The complaint comes from the National Union of Higher Health Technicians in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Areas, which states that several professionals have submitted a disclaimer of responsibility. The union clarifies that this document does not constitute a refusal to provide care, but rather an alert to the needs that the service presents. In the specific case of Porto Santo, there is only one Higher Technician in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Care ensuring the radiological response in the region.

Contagious disease found in birds at this location in Portugal: DGAV recommends precautions

The General Directorate of Food and Veterinary Medicine (DGAV) confirmed the presence of Newcastle disease in wild birds on four islands of the Azores – São Miguel, Terceira, Graciosa and Pico – after records of abnormal mortality since the beginning of July, with 17 positive results out of 134 analyses carried out. The affected species are the rock pigeon and the collared dove, and although similar symptoms have been observed on Faial and Santa Maria, there is no laboratory confirmation on these islands yet. So far, no cases have been identified in poultry, and the risk to the human population is considered very low. DGAV recommended prevention measures such as updated vaccination, reinforced cleaning of facilities and protecting food and water from contact with wild birds. Rock pigeon hunting remains prohibited on all islands since August 13.
