PSD demands explanations about the closure of the Thermal Hospital</minimax:tool_call>: PSD demands explanations about the closure of the Thermal Hospital

Diário de Leiria2 September 2026 at 10:00

PSD demanded clarifications from the regional government about the closure of the Thermal Hospital, whose operation was suspended after the detection of a colony of bacteria in its facilities. The social-democratic party expressed concern about the situation and requested explanations regarding the reasons for the closure and the measures taken to resolve the problem.

The treatments at the Thermal Hospital were suspended due to the presence of a colony of bacteria that was identified during analyses carried out on the facilities. The origin of the bacteria may be related to technical interventions that began in August, according to the evidence gathered.

The Thermal Hospital is a health unit that offers thermal treatments to patients, so the suspension of services directly affects patients who depend on these care services. The situation has generated concern among users and professionals of the health unit.

PSD awaits responses from the regional government regarding the timeline planned for resolving the problem and the return to normal operation of the Thermal Hospital, considering it essential to guarantee the safety and access of users to thermal health care.
