SNS needs 600 more anesthesiologists

Observador7 September 2026 at 06:35

The Portuguese National Health Service needs 600 more anesthesiologists, according to the headline in Diário de Notícias.

At Hospital D. Estefânia, several anesthesiologists resigned from the operating theatre last Friday, allegedly due to the lack of professionals in the work schedules.

This situation at Hospital D. Estefânia occurs within the context of a broader human resources crisis in the SNS, which faces significant difficulties in maintaining complete teams in its units.

In response to this shortage, the opening of the highest number of vacancies for anesthesiologists ever is planned, in an attempt to fill the existing gaps in the public health system.

Norte and Lagos: cities still have needs that go far beyond the royalties

The main challenges include road recovery, the need to diversify the economy to reduce dependence on oil, improvements in intermunicipal transportation and public health. Campos dos Goytacazes, the largest city in inland Rio de Janeiro, combines the oil and gas industry with sugarcane production, but suffers from growing violence and deficiencies in the public health network. São João da Barra is home to the Port of Açu, the largest private terminal in the country, which faces access problems and poor maintenance of its access roads.
