Gabinete Sénior indignant with death of elderly patient in hospital and proposes new attendance rules

Following the death of an 87-year-old patient who waited over 10 hours in the Portimão emergency department, the Gabinete Sénior association has proposed mandatory new protocols for patients aged 65 and over. These include mandatory health re-evaluations after 60 minutes of waiting, active monitoring of waiting rooms by health professionals, guaranteed access to food, medication and accompaniment, and the prioritization of patients over 80 within the same triage category.
