The Medical Order requested an urgent meeting with the Ministry of Health following the mass resignation of nine department heads from the Pediatric Hospital Dona Estefânia's emergency department.
The departure of these officials was motivated by the lack of anesthetists at the health unit.
The news was first reported by RTP, which led the Medical Order to intervene and request the urgent meeting with health authorities.
The Pediatric Hospital Dona Estefânia thus faces a staffing crisis that directly affects the functioning of its emergency department.
