The Inspectorate-General of Health Activities (IGAS) decided to proceed with an inspection action at Hospital Garcia de Orta (HGO), in Almada. The decision comes following the suspension that occurred in August at that hospital.
IGAS is the body responsible for the supervision and inspection of health activities in Portugal, with powers to investigate situations that may represent non-compliance with the legal or regulatory standards applicable to health services.
Hospital Garcia de Orta is a public hospital located in Almada, in the Lisbon and Tagus Valley region, that provides healthcare services to the population of that geographical area.
The article, published by the Almada online portal, states that the inspection action is related to the suspension that occurred at the hospital during the month of August, although the specific details about what prompted this suspension are not presented in the provided text.
