Former INEM president says only one strike shift failed to meet minimum services

Sérgio Janeiro guarantees that minimum services were met “in all periods of the strike”, with the exception of the 16:00 to 24:00 shift on November 4th, which was “completely dependent on overtime”.

Context & Explainers

Luís Cabral is the president of INEM (Instituto Nacional de Emergência Médica), the agency that coordinates Portugal’s pre‑hospital emergency services and medical dispatch for 112 calls. In the recent story he said delays were caused by stretchers being held up in hospitals, which can tie up ambulances and reduce the system’s ability to respond to new emergencies.
