Three family doctors missing in Porto de Mós with ULS guaranteeing by 2027

Diário de Leiria1 September 2026 at 17:30

The municipality of Porto de Mós faces a shortage of three family doctors, a situation that affects approximately 3,500 patients without an assigned doctor. The Local Health Unit (ULS) responsible for the region assured that this gap will be filled by 2027, the expected date for the hiring of the missing professionals. This shortage is part of a broader context of difficulties in the primary health sector in various regions of the country, where assigning a family doctor to all citizens remains a challenge. The resolution of this situation in Porto de Mós will depend on the recruitment processes and integration of new doctors into the local health unit.
