The SNS global framework was approved this week with a nine-month delay compared to what was planned. This document will define the activity and expenditure of the National Health Service until 2028.
The goal of assigning a family doctor to all users was postponed, ceasing to be an achievable objective within the timeframe established by the document.
The delay in approving the framework represents an obstacle to setting priorities and planning the resources of the Portuguese public health system for the coming years.
