10 minutes: bankruptcy of clinic in Cascais affects more than 200 patients

SIC Notícias8 September 2026 at 21:16

More than 200 women were left without answers after a fertility clinic in Cascais declared insolvency. The situation left medically assisted reproduction treatments halfway through, with no possibility of continuity.

The affected patients also face uncertainty regarding the storage of their reproductive cells, without guarantees that they can be maintained long-term under appropriate conditions.

The clinic's bankruptcy created a situation of vulnerability for the women who were following their fertility processes there, interrupting already initiated treatment cycles.

The case highlights the serious consequences that the insolvency of a health unit can have for patients, particularly in an area as sensitive as assisted reproduction.

At the Setúbal Court, the trial of Manuel Coelho, the only defendant and survivor of the sinking of a vessel off Troia, in April 2024, which caused the death of four people, including an 11-year-old child, is underway. Prosecution witnesses corroborated the Public Ministry's thesis that the sea conditions that day – with waves over three meters high and low tide – made the Restinga area, known for its dangerous sandbanks, particularly unsafe for navigation. The 64-year-old defendant is charged with four counts of negligent homicide for having decided to make the recreational cuttlefish fishing trip, knowing the conditions were not safe. The trial continues on Wednesday.
