For the Sake of Your Health
No. 33 JANUARY 2013
What health system do we want to have? What is the place of the National Health Service (SNS)? What does it mean to have an SNS? What principles can we use to organise and improve it? Beginning with an analysis of the present situation and the elements that characterise the health sector, some current myths are discussed. The intention is to inform the reader about the main difficulties and the possibilities for change in the SNS. The organisation of the sector depends on the people who work there but also on the behaviour of citizens as patients and as the taxpayers who finance it. There are no perfect solutions, but rather an invitation to civic participation. Informed citizens will be better equipped to contribute to the construction of the Portuguese health system. For the Sake of Your Health.
