Chega questions Government about lack of hematologists

Observador11 September 2026 at 13:55

The Chega party questioned the Government about the lack of hematologists in the Baixo Alentejo and Algarve regions. The political formation considered that there is a "concerning insufficiency" of specialists in these areas of the country.

According to the party, there are only two female hematologist doctors covering these regions, one working in Beja and another in Portimão. This shortage of professionals raises questions about the access of residents in these areas to specialized healthcare in the field of hematology.

Chega also criticized the non-assignment of "underserved vacancies" for these specialties, suggesting that the Executive should prioritize the hiring of doctors for the most underserved areas of the country. The party believes this situation compromises the quality of healthcare provided to the population of these regions.

SINTAB ACCUSES GOVERNMENT OF LEAVING CACHÃO SLAUGHTERHOUSE WITHOUT CONCRETE RESPONSES

SINTAB accused the Government of not presenting concrete measures to guarantee the continuity of the Matadouro Industrial do Cachão (Cachão Industrial Slaughterhouse), in response to a question from PCP in the Assembly of the Republic about the insolvency process of the infrastructure. The union criticized that, although the Executive recognizes the importance of the slaughterhouse for the Trás-os-Montes region, it limits itself to referring responsibilities to the owning municipalities, Mirandela and Vila Flor, and to the bodies of the insolvency process. SINTAB considered it particularly serious that, days after the Council of Ministers met in Bragança with speeches about valuing the Interior, the Government does not take an active position. The union warned that the infrastructure is essential for livestock production, employment and the regional economy, demanding that municipalities and the Executive present concrete solutions.
