Looks like our 3rd world health service is having a shake up…

More than 30 directors and heads of services of the Madeira Health Service (SESARAM) decided to resign from their posts in protest against the appointment of Mário Pereira to the clinical direction of SESARAM, which is equivalent to 66% of the leadership.

This was the conclusion transmitted a few moments ago, through the reading of a short statement, by the cardiologist, António Drumond, after the meeting that brought together about 30 doctors, at the headquarters of the Order of Doctors in Funchal, in what was the second meeting that the group of contesting doctors of the appointment of Mário Pereira as clinical director maintained this week.

Just as the Diário Notícias had already advanced last Sunday, a group of doctors, mostly service directors, senior graduated assistants, former clinical directors, SESARAM presidents and even former regional health secretaries, met yesterday and issued a statement in which they claim that the appointment of the former CDS deputy is illegal and contest the partisanship of the clinical area, stating that it may cause instability.

  1. Another case of jobs for the boys, or girls, it doesn’t seem to matter what they know just who they know. Certainly the appointment cannot be based upon any clinical knowledge or even previous experience or qualifications in hospital management. All very sad.

  2. Well by resigning on -mass they certainly bring on their prediction of instability for sure.
    The problems are more focused on a small island, talented people migrate, middle management is woefully short of talented enthusiastic driven people as its poorly paid and with an ability and historic past for going elsewhere to meet income need, that’s what they do and only in the past few days there has been an independent report published on Portugal’s propensity for corruption in high office that aligns to third world country’s and is generally accepted by the general Portugese population, so what now of the new hospital so long in the debate stage, build it and no doctors/ consultants? Menorca built such a facility not so long back, then found that 1) consultants wouldn’t come because say ” not enough people have problems to satisfy my chosen speciality” 2) people felt safer going to mainland Spain for their specialist treatment. They also have a new prison standing half full as not enough lock up crime ( UK should be so lucky!!!)
