Fertility clinic in Cascais declares insolvency and leaves the dream of motherhood of 200 patients in suspense

SIC Notícias8 September 2026 at 20:34

The OvomCare fertility clinic, located in Cascais, declared insolvency and left more than 200 patients in a situation of great uncertainty. The reproductive cells of patients were transferred to another clinic in Lisbon, which only offers six months of free storage. SIC spoke with one of those affected, who had her eggs collected precisely on the day the establishment closed its doors. The patient stated she did not receive answers about what will happen to her gametes. The insolvency process puts at risk the dream of motherhood of hundreds of women who turned to OvomCare for fertility treatments.

Portugal joins United Kingdom and ten other countries that will ban trade with Israeli settlements

Portugal joined 11 other countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Ireland, in a coordinated sanctions action against illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, prohibiting the import of goods produced in these territories. The United Kingdom officially declared that the Israeli occupation in the West Bank is illegal under international law, with the British Foreign Secretary, Ed Miliband, accusing Israel of attempting "ethnic cleansing" against Palestinians. Israel responded by announcing the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem and excluding the United Kingdom from the US-led mission to Gaza, with Minister Gideon Saar accusing the British of "scandalous lies". The joint statement from the 12 countries alerts to the deterioration of the situation in the West Bank, with unprecedented levels of settler violence and settlement expansion, calling on Israel to cease these practices. The sanctions also include restrictions on financing services for expansion, sanctions on violent individuals and review of weapons exports.
