Transfer of Medical Personnel to Almada deemed futile due to lack of doctors in Barreiro according to the National Federation of Doctors
In a pressing development, the staffing issue at Almada Hospital continues to persist, as the transfer of obstetricians from Barreiro Hospital remains impossible due to collective labor agreements.
Joana Bordalo e Sá, the president of the union structure, has emphasized this inability to transfer obstetricians, stating that 'doctors cannot be mobilized by force.' This situation may have a significant impact on the healthcare services provided at Almada Hospital, leaving a critical need for obstetricians unmet.
Despite the urgency, no alternative arrangements have been made to address this shortage, and no new obstetricians have been appointed to Almada Hospital. The situation at Barreiro Hospital, where doctors are protected by collective labor agreements, may continue to impact the staffing at Almada Hospital.
The collective labor agreements at Barreiro Hospital also protect doctors from being mobilized by force, ensuring their rights are upheld. However, this protection has left Almada Hospital without the necessary staff to provide comprehensive healthcare services, particularly in the field of obstetrics.
Investigations into potential solutions or cooperation between Barreiro and Almada Hospitals have not yielded any specific information. The search results do not provide details about the leader of Almada Hospital or any existing possibilities of collaboration to address the shortage of gynecologists.
As the situation continues, the healthcare services provided at Almada Hospital may be affected persistently, highlighting the urgent need for a resolution to this staffing crisis. Until then, the community waits, hoping for a solution that ensures the provision of adequate healthcare services.
