JPP denounces cases of patients on waiting lists for over five years in Madeira
The JPP party reports that some patients in Madeira have been waiting more than five years for medical consultations, exams, or surgeries. The party identifies a lack of transparency in the regional health system, as there is currently no way for users to track their position on waiting lists, and proposes the creation of a 'Patient Bill of Rights' to increase transparency and clinical priority tracking.
Why it matters
If you rely on the public health system in Madeira, be aware that there is currently no formal system to track your progress on waiting lists, and that systemic delays for elective procedures may be significant.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
