The Hospital Beatriz Ângelo in Loures has inaugurated Portugal's first regional obstetrics and gynecology emergency service, operating 24/7 to improve healthcare access in the Loures-Odivelas and Tejo estuary regions. This initiative aims to address staff shortages and hospital service closures across the country by consolidating emergency care through collaboration between local health units. As a result, the obstetric emergency service at Vila Franca de Xira hospital will cease urgent operations, though its maternity services remain unaffected. Pregnant women are advised to contact SNS24 for triage and guidance to ensure appropriate hospital referrals. The government plans to evaluate this model's effectiveness for potential expansion to other regions and specialties.
