The Medical Association expressed concern about the shortage of healthcare professionals in territories with low population density in Portugal. The organization recognizes that these regions face significant difficulties in attracting and retaining doctors.
As a solution, the Medical Association proposes granting additional vacation days to professionals who work in the most remote areas of the country. This measure aims to compensate for the more challenging working conditions in these regions.
Additionally, the organization suggests implementing tax incentives for doctors who choose to work in low population density territories. The objective is to make these regions more financially attractive to healthcare professionals.
The proposals arise in the context of growing difficulty in placing doctors in the country's interior, where the lack of professionals affects the quality of healthcare provided to the local population.
