For now, Fernando Araujo will not resign or even make his place available for a future health portfolio holder. The Executive Council of the National Socialist Party will leave only if the new government decides to reverse or distort the model of the National Socialist Party, which is being restructured. . This is more likely if the government implements the electoral program – and if Ana Paula Martins, former president of the Santa Maria Hospital Board of Directors who resigned in December last year and was elected Democratic Party deputy for Lisbon – takes up this ministerial position. file. The former official is the most likely choice for Luis Montenegro, as well as the most compatible. If Fernando Araujo chooses to leave, Álvaro Santos Pereira, former Minister of Economy in Passos Coelho's government, is the name that will be most urgently mentioned to replace him in the position.
In the field of health, AD's victory raises several questions that conflict with the coalition's strategy. The ongoing restructuring of the SNS includes the creation of the ULS, changes to the powers of the Directorate General of Health and the abolition of the ARS. Topics that the coalition has committed to review. Moreover, Ana Paula Martins, if she is appointed Minister of Health as everything indicates, will resign from the presidency of the Santa María Hospital because she did not agree with the way this restructuring was carried out.
Outside university hospitals
The merger of the university and central hospitals into ULS is a point of contention with Fernando Araujo. The issue is financing these institutions. “I do not disagree with the ULS 2.0 model, I do not agree with the ULS model for a university hospital,” He stated this in a recent interview with the newspaper general Future Deputy Public Security Directorate. Despite agreeing with “ULS 2.0 Model for District Hospitals” In order for there to be an effective link between hospital care and primary care, the former director of Santa Maria believes that university students should be excluded, because this model generates sublicensing. “University Hospital is completely different. It cannot, and should not, be financed with a capital system [valor de referência por cada utente]», It is a form of financing for ULS. “With a single funding model, without significant funding for differentiation and without a funding program for innovative medicines for oncology and rare diseases, this hospital cannot survive financially.” This was the reason that led to his resignation at the end of last year, shortly after accepting the invitation to join the rosters of Dr..
This understanding was placed within the framework of the coalition’s electoral program, to which it adhered “Develop local health systems, strengthen nearby clinical teams, and re-evaluate the ULS process in terms of size, scope and function.”
Miguel Pinto Luz, deputy head of the Public Security Directorate, has also publicly stated that the new model is “An anomalous configuration of the ULS system involving central hospitals and university hospitals makes not only the ULS system itself understandable, but also the structures of reference hospitals.” toshines in the sun, At the same time, the Social Democrats justified that the request to suspend the restructuring of the Syrian National Party, by the PSD, did not mean that the party was “Against creating a new ULS, the problem is that the model is poorly designed.” He added that if the Democratic Alliance wins the elections, it will be one of the possible changes “Removing university hospitals and terminal hospitals in the new structure, because they have a national scope and function that have no place in this structure.”
If this happens, the model designed by Fernando Araujo will be called into question and distorted, because the largest hospitals are the pillars of the new SNS structure. The executive director will have no alternative but to leave what has been done or do it again.
Another commitment of the alliance is “Reformulating the Executive Directorate of the National Security Service, with a profound change in its organic structure – in a more simplified form – and its functional responsibilities.” The Democratic Struggle Movement has taken a position against the overlapping of powers with the Rehabilitation Association, the General Health Assembly, and the General Directorate of Health itself, and also against the withdrawal of exclusive powers from the Ministry of Health. As a result of this position taken, the new government will transfer powers to the Ministry of Health. De-SNS. Another point of honor for Fernando Araujo.
Pakistan Peoples Party: Yes or No?
This topic has been deleted in the AD electoral program. The coalition is not committed to returning to public-private partnerships to manage hospitals. Only with the social sector is it proposed “Launching new public social partnerships for palliative care units and the second generation of continuing care units.”. In statements by L sunriseOscar Gaspar, President of the Private Hospital Association, stated that according to the AD programme, “There appears to be a push in the sense that private providers can make a greater contribution to the access to health of the Portuguese people, either by increasing global supply or by strengthening cooperation with social networking services.” Well it seems “Achievable and quick to implement.” Action suggested by AD_de “Ensuring the issuance of a specialized consultation voucher, with the freedom to choose the service provider by the user when the Maximum Guaranteed Response Time (TMRG) is exceeded.”. As for the Pakistan People's Party, Oscar Gaspar confirms that this does not apply to the electoral program “Any reference” To this possibility. However, on this topic, Ana Paula Martins stated in the same interview with Publico: “The ideological question must be put aside. “If we have reports that show that public-private partnerships have been very positive overall in terms of outcomes for the state and citizens, the administration will look into this issue.” The question is, are private hospitals available?
