The Health Emergency Plan was presented in May 2024 by the Ministry of Health. This plan is a health policy instrument aimed at tackling urgent and priority challenges in access to healthcare in Portugal. Structured around five strategic axes, the plan proposes a comprehensive set of measures that respond to the current critical needs of the healthcare system. Each strategic axis was analysed by a group of health professionals, resulting in the preparation of Policy Briefs that summarise the main recommendations and directions for action. These documents also present a critical analysis of the measures implemented and propose possible improvements in their implementation.
