Local Health Unit Wants to Build New Tower at Hospital

Observador15 September 2026 at 15:01

The Local Health Unit (ULS) intends to build a new tower at Hospital de S. André. The project, called the third tower, was presented to the Minister of Health last year.

According to the president of the ULS, Hospital de S. André currently serves more population than it was originally designed for, justifying the need for expansion.

Why this matters

This matters to local residents because the expansion would increase the hospital's capacity to serve the growing population. The project follows from population growth in the region since the hospital was originally built, and its realization depends on approval and funding from the Ministry of Health.
