Health Minister Ana Paula Martins made a blood donation in Lisbon, during which she appealed to the public to join this cause, emphasizing the importance of donations in saving lives.
During the event, Martins acknowledged the shortage of nurses in the National Health Service (SNS) and highlighted that the situation requires urgent attention. She promised that at least two more measures would be implemented to attract professionals to the health sector.
The minister's appeal comes at a time when the need for blood is critical, particularly during periods of high demand, and the working conditions of nurses are cited as one of the factors contributing to the shortage of professionals.
