Community contests reduction of oncologist Rui Dinis's consultation hours at ULS do Alto Alentejo

A group of citizens and users of the Local Health Unit (ULS) do Alto Alentejo launched a public petition directed at the institution's board of directors, expressing strong concern about the potential reduction of oncologist Dr. Rui Dinis's consultation hours.

The petition aims to demonstrate the community's support for oncologist Dr. Rui Dinis and alert to the consequences that a reduction in his consultation hours could have for users of the region.

The document was created in response to rumors or information indicating a possible reduction of the specialist's consultation schedule at the Alto Alentejo health unit.

The local community thus demonstrates its concern regarding a potential change that could affect users' access to oncology care in the region.
