Seguro says it is everyone's duty to improve the NHS

Observador15 September 2026 at 20:25

The President of the Republic states that it is everyone's duty to improve the National Health Service, arguing that "there is no health at the service of everyone without a public system to guarantee it." This statement was made on the day the NHS celebrated its 47th anniversary.

The Head of State highlighted the importance of the public health system as a fundamental pillar for guaranteeing access to healthcare for all citizens. The President's position comes at a moment of reflection on the state of the NHS in Portugal.

The celebration of the 47th anniversary of the National Health Service thus provides the context for this message from the President of the Republic about the need for collective commitment to improving the Portuguese public health system.

Why this matters

The article directly affects Portuguese readers because the NHS is the public health system that serves the general population, and the Head of State's statements about the need to improve the system come at a time when the NHS faces pressures on emergency room schedules, shortages of doctors and professionals, and competition for resources, issues that have a concrete impact on citizens' access to healthcare.
