The Portuguese League Against Cancer announced its participation in the Health discussion, an initiative launched by the President of the Republic. The organization intends to contribute its perspective to the Strategic Health Pact.
The League highlights the significant challenges it faces in the context of cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Healthcare professionals, namely doctors and researchers, deal with difficulties in their daily work that affect the quality of care provided to patients.
Oncology patients are identified as one of the most vulnerable groups in the Portuguese health system. The League draws attention to the need for more effective and integrated responses for this population.
The League's participation in this discussion comes within the scope of a broader process of reflection on the future of the health system in Portugal, with the aim of presenting concrete contributions to improve the situation of professionals and patients.
