Context & Explainers

Amadora‑Sintra refers to the public hospital serving the adjoining municipalities of Amadora and Sintra in the Lisbon metropolitan area—commonly called Hospital Amadora‑Sintra, especially its emergency department (serviço de urgência). It is a major suburban emergency and inpatient centre that often runs at high capacity, so safety incidents or staffing problems there can quickly affect waiting times and access to urgent care for expats living in west/northwest Lisbon.
