Lack of hematologists in Baixo Alentejo and Algarve reaches critical levels

TVI Notícias7 September 2026 at 21:02

The lack of hematologists in the Baixo Alentejo and Algarve regions has reached critical levels, according to the Medical Union. This situation calls into question the capacity of health services to respond in these areas of the country.

The union expressed concern about the shortage of professionals in this medical specialty. Hematologists are responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of blood diseases.

According to the Medical Union, the solution to resolve this shortage involves opening new positions for the hematology specialty. The creation of more jobs aims to attract professionals to the most underserved regions.

Government says it did not receive alerts to stop digital marking of exams

The Ministry of Education guarantees that it did not receive technical alerts recommending stopping the digital marking of national exams in 2026, despite problems identified in the first implementation phase, such as file integrity failures, incorrect sheet associations and parameterization errors affecting more than 21,000 grades. The Government acknowledges that the constraints generated anxiety among students and families, but emphasizes that the second phase proceeded without significant problems, with the number of error reports dropping from 90,479 to 5,110. Following questions raised by the PS (Socialist Party), which threatened to proceed with a parliamentary inquiry committee, the Executive requested an independent and comprehensive evaluation of the external assessment model from the National Education Council, whose final report should be delivered by December 31, 2026.
