The Local Health Unit (ULS) of Santo António, in Porto, announced the suspension of additional orthopedic and neurosurgery surgeries. The decision is due to the unavailability of the medical teams necessary to perform these surgical procedures outside of normal hours.
The management of ULS de Santo António is working to find a solution that allows these additional surgeries to resume. The goal is to normalize the functioning of the operating rooms as quickly as possible.
The Government is also involved in searching for a resolution to this situation. The health authorities are analyzing measures to address the lack of availability of surgical teams.
This suspension comes in a context of pressure on hospital services, directly affecting users who needed these additional surgeries at the Porto hospital.
