Doctors' federation starts talks with Health Ministry
The Federação Nacional dos Médicos (Fnam) has begun formal negotiations with the Ministry of Health, starting with discussions on doctors' evaluation and career progression after a recently signed negotiating protocol. The meeting, scheduled at the Health Ministry, is presented by Fnam as seeking transparency, seriousness and a clear calendar for progress. Patients and SNS staff should expect further announcements on timetables or industrial action if talks stall, so keep appointments and local unit notices under review.
FNAM is the National Federation of Doctors (Federação Nacional dos Médicos), a trade‑union and professional organisation that represents physicians across Portugal. It frequently engages in advocacy and legal actions — here it says it will ask the Ombudsman to request a constitutional review because it believes the regional emergency services statute harms doctors' work.
