Lusíadas Saúde announced this Wednesday, March 25, the opening of the Lusíadas Beloura Hospital in Sintra. This 30-million-euro investment is part of the group's expansion plan in the Greater Lisbon area. The facility, scheduled to open in the first half of the year, aims to serve approximately one million residents in the municipalities of Sintra, Cascais, and Oeiras. Spanning 9,500 m² across four floors, the hospital will feature 27 inpatient beds, 41 consultation rooms, 18 examination rooms, two operating theatres, and one minor surgery room. The estimated capacity will allow for over 100,000 consultations and approximately 4,000 surgeries per year. The new space will also provide walk-in services, diagnostic services, and a dental clinic with three offices, the company stated. The creation of approximately 500 jobs is the primary expected direct impact on the local economy, strengthening private healthcare provision in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. The unit will include an Integrated Health Centre focused on prevention and continuity of care, and will complement home care services through the Hug Lusíadas Home Care brand. Regarding the project, Vasco Antunes Pereira, CEO of Lusíadas Saúde, stated that the group is reinforcing its commitment to the Greater Lisbon region by bringing more proximity, quality, and innovation to healthcare. The new hospital will operate in coordination with the group's other units in the region, specifically the Lusíadas network hospitals and clinics in Greater Lisbon. The new Sintra Hospital will be inaugurated on Monday and will open its basic emergency department on Saturday.
