This Thursday at 10 am, 85 people were admitted to the emergency department of the Penafiel Hospital, 52 were under medical observation and five were awaiting diagnosis.
The biggest problem in this hospital is not the waiting time, but the lack of stretchers. “This hospital has more than twice the population it was designed for. We are making Herculean efforts to speed up discharges and find beds,” he said. CMTVSusana Costa, a doctor in the hospital’s department, emphasizes that in addition to problems with physical space, a lack of specialists is also a serious problem.
“Professionals face a real war when they come to work at 8 a.m.,” he said.
In the north, it also indicates that the situation in Guimarães is complex. The Senhora da Oliveira Hospital had 52 patients as of 8:00 am and did not have enough beds and chairs for the patients. In Braga, 42 patients were admitted to the emergency department.
