Para evitar riscos desnecessários e focar nas urgências, vários hospitais suspendem consultas e cirurgias

In response to severe weather warnings, several hospitals in Portugal are suspending non-urgent consultations and surgeries to prioritize urgent care. Essential services, including oncology treatments, will continue. The government has advised health units to implement preventive measures to ensure patient and staff safety. Various health centers are adapting their operations, with many converting in-person consultations to teleconsultations. Some regions, particularly affected by storms, are taking additional precautions, including canceling scheduled activities and focusing on urgent cases. Pharmacies are also activating crisis management protocols to support their operations during this period.
