Health extension in Vale de Cavalos reopens this Thursday with private security

Correio do Ribatejo14 September 2026 at 16:43

The health extension in Vale de Cavalos, in the municipality of Chamusca, will reopen this Thursday with private security. The Chamusca Municipal Council announced today that it has hired private security services for that health facility.

The extension had been closed since July 13, due to an incident between a patient and the health professional at that facility. The incident led to the temporary closure of the premises.

During the closure period, healthcare for the population of Vale de Cavalos has been provided by the Chamusca Health Center, which ensures the necessary assistance to patients in the region.

The Parish Council was involved in managing this situation, working together with the municipality to find a solution that would allow the safe reopening of the health extension.

Why this matters

Residents of Vale de Cavalos will once again have access to healthcare in their local community, after weeks of traveling to the Chamusca Health Center. The presence of private security represents a new reality for the facility, suggesting that measures have been implemented to prevent new episodes of violence. This reopening follows a serious incident that prompted the temporary closure of the health extension.
