The Regional Secretary for Health and Civil Protection, Micaela Fonseca de Freitas, highlighted the importance of a spirit of commitment and strategic vision among all sectors of society for the future of healthcare.
At the opening of the Conference-Debate ‘Paths of Consensus and Commitment for Health in Portugal’, the official stressed the attraction and retention of professionals as a priority, valuing careers to combat the challenge of insularity. Digital transformation, including the future Madeira Central and University Hospital and the User Health Record, was pointed out as an essential pillar.
