Health professionals, users and trade unions take to the streets in defense of the National Health Service (SNS), with promoters expecting a “strong commitment” to the march scheduled for Lisbon, Porto and Coimbra.
The initiative is being promoted by several trade union structures linked to the civil service and the health sector, as well as by the Movement of Users of Public Services (MUSP), which intends to involve the population in “defending social networking services and responding to health care and the rights and working conditions of professionals”.
According to Sebastião Santana, Coordinator of the Confederation of Civil Service Trade Unions (FNSTFPS), the “March for the Right to Health” has participated “in line with the importance of SNS”, which means that it will register “strong adhesion” of health workers, users and representative movements of them, unions and even other entities Like firefighters unions.
The union leader justified the initiative with “a very difficult framework for those who work in the SNS”, due to the lack of resources in hospitals and health centers, warning that this public service, “if nothing is done, is at risk of collapse.”
According to the CGTP-IN, which guarantees that the rally has already received “the support of dozens of institutions and thousands of people”, the “deterioration of the SNS and the response to the health care of the population” is at stake.
The march is scheduled to leave Campo Pequeno, in Lisbon, at 3:00 pm, from the São João Hospital, in Porto, also at 3:00 pm, and from the Fernão de Magalhaes Health Center, in Coimbra, at 11:00. I be.
