Portugal Increases Cardiac Surgery Team Pay

Antena 1 RTP HLS Lisbon 8d8d Impact 5

Portugal is introducing an exceptional incentive regime to increase surgical activity and reduce hospital waiting lists. The program specifically targets cardiac surgery waitlists by authorizing extra procedures outside of standard medical team working hours. This measure aims to recover healthcare assistance activity without disrupting regular hospital operations. The initiative focuses on improving patient access to critical operations. The policy allows for an 80% pay increase for teams working outside of normal hours. The Secretary of State for Health acknowledged in Parliament that over 300 patients died waiting for cardiac surgery over the last four years. A new decree published in the Diário da República allows for increased payments to address cardiac surgery waitlists in Portugal.

A new decree published in the Diário da República allows for increased payments to address cardiac surgery waitlists in Portugal. The director of cardiology at a local health unit in Porto reported 10 deaths due to long waitlists at that hospital over the last three years. The new measure aims to mitigate these mortality rates caused by high waiting lists. These teams will receive an 80% increase for additional production.
