Luís Albuquerque, the mayor of Urem, ensures that the local health center will not be closed
Orem municipality says that the local health center will not close, even if the municipality is integrated into the future local health unit in Leiria.
The demands of many citizens for better conditions for access to health care and against the shortage of family doctors in Urem, which also show concern about the possibility of the municipality being merged into the future local health unit in Leiria, led the municipality to issue a statement guaranteeing that the Urem health center would not be closed. The municipality states that it has been around for more than 30 years, and ensures that the services provided remain in operation, from primary care to mental health, as well as all parities agreed with private entities. He affirms: “This guarantee shall prevail even if the municipality of Orem becomes part of the future ULS of the Leiria District.” Regarding the integration into the new ULS, the municipality explains that the creation of one in Middle Tagus is also under discussion. In this sense, the municipality will have to integrate one of the two ULS companies, Leiria or Médio Tejo. “Integration into one of them will necessarily have future implications for our reference hospital,” he says.
As a matter of balance, the City Council states that the recruitment and placement of health professionals, i.e. doctors, nurses and other technicians, in the various health units, is the exclusive responsibility of the Ministry of Health. Much has been said about the decentralization of competencies in health. It should be noted that the municipality has not yet assumed any competence in this field and when it deems that the assumption conditions have been met, it only relates to operational assistants and building management and maintenance, such as cleanliness, electricity and water, among others, and the vehicle fleet, “it says in the statement. memo.
Rehabilitation of health poles
The municipality is developing a program to support physician retention and has invested in the rehabilitation of five poles for the personal healthcare unit in Urem. Its sanitary units have been renovated and modernized in Alboretel, Olivel, Rio de Corros, Sobral and Villar dos Prazeres. Soon Caxarias will also benefit from a newer sanitary unit. Rehabilitation and expansion of the Fatima and Urem health centers are also expected, and their project preparation procedures are already underway. “The municipality intends to continue to raise awareness of the need to establish a permanent care service in the health center in Urem,” he says.
