The Ministry of Finance approved a document on Thursday that allows hospitals to move forward with the hiring of nurses and other professionals. This approval comes just days after a warning from the Nursing Order, which highlighted the need to strengthen health teams due to the pressure on healthcare services.

Through this document, hospitals will be able to initiate the hiring process, which is considered an important measure to address human resource shortages in the health sector. The approval was reported by several news sources, emphasizing the relevance of the decision for the operation of health institutions in Portugal.

The issue of hiring nurses has been a topic of discussion recently, with the need to ensure adequate care for the population being a priority, especially during critical periods. The decision from the Ministry of Finance is seen as a response to these concerns.
