Heads of the emergency internal medicine team at the San Francisco Xavier Hospital in Lisbon resigned collectively in a letter sent this Monday to the board of directors, criticizing the lack of solutions to the service’s problems.
In a letter signed by 16 paramedics from the Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Central (CHLO) Department of Internal Medicine, accessed by the Lusa agency, the doctors say the crisis being experienced by the General Emergency Service (SUG) is “outdated and has worsened in recent years.”

The doctors say in a letter, which was also sent this Monday to the Order of Physicians and trade unions, that at the time negotiations had begun with the current board of directors “with a view to finding solutions that would eliminate the deficiencies identified.”
“Over the past seven months, despite the willingness of the Hospital Assistants (AH) group of internal medicine to cooperate with the institution they represent, no structural changes have been proposed or implemented, so the problem that motivated the previous message has escalated. as expected, ”says the letter sent by the experts.
