The Posto Emissor do Funchal launched this Wednesday, September 9th, a new podcast dedicated to health, called "Conversas com Saúde" (Health Conversations). This initiative is the result of a partnership with SESARAM, the Health Service of the Autonomous Region of Madeira, with the aim of addressing different topics related to prevention, well-being, and healthcare.

The first episode was titled "September: Time to (RE)Start", taking advantage of the return from vacation and the start of a new school year to launch a dialogue about resuming routines and the importance of doing so in a healthy way.

The conversation was conducted by Ana Gouveia and João Carlos Freitas, who were joined by Ana Teixeira, a specialist doctor in General and Family Medicine, and Luísa Barcelos, a specialist nurse in Community Nursing. Throughout the episode, the two professionals shared recommendations aimed at helping children, young people, and families experience the September transition in a more balanced way, addressing the challenges specific to this month.

The first episode of "Conversas com Saúde" (Health Conversations) can be listened to on the Posto Emissor do Funchal website.
