Lack of INEM ambulances leads to another home birth, union reports

A woman in Almada gave birth to a baby girl at home due to a lack of available ambulances and resources from the National Institute of Medical Emergency (INEM), the Union of Pre-Hospital Emergency Technicians (STEPH) reported today. The incident occurred on Wednesday in the Torrão neighbourhood after an initial call at 12:09, but an ambulance was only dispatched half an hour later. STEPH official Rui Lázaro criticised the INEM's alleged decision to remove 100 ambulances from service, a claim the institute's management has denied. The pregnant woman, who was experiencing haemorrhaging and severe pain, was triaged as priority 2, but no ambulances were available in the area at the time. The baby, named Vitória, was born at home with the help of neighbours before the ambulance arrived. Both mother and child were eventually taken to the Alfredo da Costa Maternity Hospital in Lisbon. The union argues that this case highlights systemic failures, while the INEM maintains that it is not dismantling its emergency services but rather integrating them more effectively with hospital care.
