Medical Association advances proposals to counter "piecemeal measures" in physician placement

CNN Portugal11 September 2026 at 07:31

An association advanced proposals to counter piecemeal measures in physician placement, indicating an attempt to reformulate the current system of healthcare professional allocation.

According to the document, the evaluation model currently in force systematically penalizes healthcare units located in the country's interior.

The document points out that the criteria used in the current system are considered inadequate to evaluate and determine physician placement in these regions.

The situation highlights a concern with the inequality in healthcare provision between urban and interior areas, where healthcare units face specific difficulties that are not adequately considered by existing criteria.

With a reduced quorum, sessions have lasted between 20 and 30 minutes, with mostly tribute matters approved, such as the Tiradentes Medal to former Flamengo player Petkovic. The remote voting system was instituted during the Covid-19 pandemic and remains in effect.
