The Medical Order presented a document with 13 measures aimed at retaining doctors in the inland regions of Portugal. The presentation took place in the city of Guarda on a Friday. The main objective is to ensure that geography does not determine access to a doctor, continuity of care, or the possibility of receiving differentiated care. The document establishes a comprehensive strategy to combat asymmetries in access to healthcare between urban areas and the interior of the country.

Algarve ULS denies having prohibited workers from attending Medicine

The Local Health Unit (ULS) of the Algarve clarified that it never prohibited its workers from attending the Medicine course at the University of Algarve, after the Socialist Party (PS) questioned the Minister of Health about alleged restrictions on employment contracts. The ULS explained that the statements by its president, Tiago Botelho, were "improperly interpreted and taken out of context," noting that it did not adopt any deliberation to that effect. The institution clarified that attending a higher education course is not considered a situation of function accumulation and that it complies with the legal provisions for worker-students, although it considers that the demands of the medical course are "hardly compatible" with the simultaneous exercise of regular professional activity.
