Shamuska Health Center has been closed for more than a month. The information was shared by the mayor, Paulo Quemado (PS), after the Chancellor Gisela Matias (CDU) asked for clarifications at the last session of the City Council, which took place on Tuesday, April 4. The opposition mayor in the socialist-majority executive said there were some limitations stemming from the failure of the system. The mayor explained that they are waiting for the Lezíria Group of health centers to replace the switchboard.
Problems with telephones and communications have recurred in health centers and expansions in the region. As O MIRANTE reported in January of this year, the Marinhais Health Extension had been operating with a telephone answering machine for more than two months, resulting in many complaints from residents. The contact form was not working and the users, mostly old people, were unable to fulfill their requests and needs. At that time, the Director of the Aggregation of Health Centers (ACES) in Lezíria, Hugo Sousa, explained to O MIRANTE that this situation involved more health units in the region and that everything was due to a pilot project carried out by the Joint Services of the Ministry of Health (SPMS) in chapter The last of 2022.
In April last year, Benavente Health Center users also complained that for months no one in that unit had answered phone calls and that online appointments were not possible in some cases, especially for the elderly. The Tagus Estuary Health Centers Association (ACES) confirmed at the time that the phones were “inoperable” and would be refurbished.
