Lack of pharmacy technicians "increases costs and waste" at SESARAM

SAPO10 September 2026 at 15:11

The lack of Pharmacy Technicians in the Pharmaceutical Services at Dr. Nélio Mendonça Hospital, at SESARAM, is causing various operational problems. According to STSS, this situation has been ongoing for about a year and has resulted in constraints in medication management, greater reliance on overtime work, and increased risks of waste.

Given this reality, the affected professionals delivered on August 28 a new declaration of liability exemption to the Board of Directors of SESARAM. This document aims to alert to the situation and pressure management to take measures to resolve the problem.

Dr. Nélio Mendonça Hospital is the main hospital unit in the autonomous region of Madeira, and the Pharmaceutical Services are essential for the proper functioning of the entire institution, ensuring the supply and control of medications.
