Minister inaugurates nursing home without authorization to open

Observador15 September 2026 at 19:19

The minister inaugurated a nursing home without it having authorization to open. The provedor of the Santa Casa de Mafra acknowledges that the "agreement" between the Social Security Institute and the State still needs to be signed.

The minister considers the nursing home a "happy investment of public funds in a social work." This position contrasts with the fact that the institution does not yet have the necessary authorization to operate.

The provedor of the Santa Casa de Mafra acknowledges that the agreement between the ISS and the State has not yet been signed, which raises questions about the regularity of the nursing home's opening.

Why this matters

This situation raises questions about oversight and the correct procedures in opening social facilities funded by public money. Users and families who may be considering this social response are left without guarantees that the nursing home complies with all legal and safety requirements demanded by the State.
