PSD denies government closed the door on creating the Alto Tâmega and Barroso Local Health Unit (ULS)

The government is currently updating the administrative, business, and clinical profile studies for the proposed creation of a new ULS in Alto Tâmega and Barroso, with a meeting scheduled for October 14 in Lisbon to consult with local mayors. The PSD maintains that the government remains open to the project, provided it ensures concrete improvements in healthcare access and resource management, noting that the existing hospital in Chaves is receiving investment under the PRR, including 6.1 million euros for pediatric and inpatient upgrades.
