New system for accessing consultations and surgeries starts in January
The new National System for Access to Consultations and Surgeries (SINACC) will launch in January 2027. The implementation was postponed from its original August 2026 date to allow for revisions to existing regulations following concerns raised by the Order of Physicians regarding the transparency and monitoring of waiting lists.
Why it matters
If you rely on the National Health Service (SNS) for scheduled surgeries or specialist consultations, a new management system is being implemented in January 2027 to replace the current SIGIC process.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
