ABSTRACT The Portuguese National Health Service (NHS) was established in 1979. Since its inception, the relationship of the NHS with private-for-profit and private-non-profit organisations has been controversially discussed between left and right-wing political parties, and this has also led also to academic debate. In 1990, a Health Basic Law was approved by right-wing parties, which […]

Thus, most dental care is paid through out-of-pocket payments, either by patients themselves or through voluntary health insurance or health subsystems. In 2008 the government created the dental voucher targeting children, pregnant […]

How can a country learn from the experience of another? Expanding nurses’ scope of practice in Portugal: Lessons from England

  • Autores: Dussault G, Temido M
  • Ano de Publicação: 2015
  • Journal: Health Policy

The composition of the Portuguese health workforce suggests an inefficient combination of nurses and physicians. Evidence indicates that, under specific circumstances, nurses can provide equivalent care to that delivered by physicians. England has a broader experience in developing policy-led initiatives in this field from which Portugal can learn. The study explores this issue, aiming to […]

  • Journal: Health Policy
  • Link: http://www.healthpolicyjrnl.com/article/S0168-8510(15)00196-7/fulltext

The public health sector has been the target of austerity measures since the global financial crisis started in 2008, while health workforce costs have been a source of rapid savings in most European Union countries. This article aims to explore how health workforce policies have evolved in three southern European countries under external constraints imposed by emergency financial programmes […]
