Livre filed five proposals for Health, which will be discussed in Parliament on Thursday, February 26th. The party’s priority is clear: to present suggestions for Ana Paula Martins’ portfolio and to focus on the issue that the elected President of the Republic, António José Seguro, declared to be a priority for the first year of his term in Belém.
In other words, right after Internal Administration, Health will be next on the parliamentary agenda, which has heard widespread criticism from the opposition to the Government. “Health can never lose prominence in the country and the Government’s inability to manage responses to calamities and bad weather does not erase what is happening in Health. There is preliminary data that in the provision of care things are worse. People continue to be concerned about the National Health Service”, begins deputy Paulo Muacho to DN.
Remembering that 70% of people do not have access to palliative care, Livre heads a resolution project focusing on the need for initial and specialized training for students and nurses and doctors. “The professionals themselves warn that they do not have all the answers, that there is a lack of specialization”, says Paulo Muacho.
In the bill, which would be applied after the 2027 State Budget, the Free requests remuneration for justified absences to assist family members in palliative care. Aware that Maria do Rosário Palma Ramalho “has been concerned about abuse”, Paulo Muacho says that financial compensation could allow caregivers to guarantee help and thus avoid resorting to medical care, especially because it is a highly minority reality. “It could end up being a cost that will save money and resources for the State”, he argues, hoping that the measure that requires the expense will be validated because “the majority of parliamentary groups talk about the importance of the family.”
