Angry, TVI presenter and radio presenter Mafalda Castro took to social media to protest the shortage of doctors in hospitals, a situation that has affected her mother Alexandra, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, a chronic and degenerative neurological disease.

“I received a call from my mother telling me that she has now left Cascais Hospital and that there is not a single neurologist available to accompany her,” he wrote on Instagram. “Therefore, if my mother had any emergency, or anyone had this or any other neurological disease, I would not be able to accompany her even in emergency situations at Cascais Hospital,” he lamented.

The communication explained that “the doctors left and headed to private hospitals, as was expected.” “We all know the state of SNS, so there’s nothing new these days, unfortunately, but there’s not even any prediction of when there might be a solution, if there is any at all,” he added.

In the same hospital, Mafalda Castro was encouraged to speak to the media: “Because, in fact, there is no solution in sight, not even to get medicine, which is also very dangerous, not to be monitored, not even to be monitored.” . For emergency services,” he justified.
