The Medical Order in Portugal expressed concern over the lack of doctors in the country's interior regions. The institution believes that urgent action is needed to ensure that the most remote populations have access to healthcare.
Given this situation, the Medical Order is proposing a set of concrete measures to attract doctors to the most isolated areas. These measures include specific incentives for low-density areas.
The goal is to create conditions that motivate doctors to settle in regions where health care coverage is currently insufficient. The Order argues that without these interventions, the disparity in access to health services between the coast and the interior will continue to worsen.
