TSF Notícias Lisbon 15d15d Impact 5

Xavier Barreto, president of the Portuguese Association of Hospital Administrators, is calling for the implementation of suggestions from a parliamentary working group report regarding a recent blackout. The proposal aims to enhance preparedness within the healthcare system. Diogo Miguel Pereira, President of the Portuguese Association of Hospital Administrators, is advocating for simulations of new blackouts to improve health unit responses. A working group has been established to consider the resilience capacity of Ministry of Health infrastructure. This follows a blackout one year ago that left the country without electricity for 12 hours. The President of the Regional Government of the Azores stated the government must view the electricity base differently due to its geopolitical importance.

Xavier Barreto, president of the Portuguese Association of Hospital Administrators, stated that the Parliamentary working group on the blackout should advance recommendations for greater energy autonomy for critical institutions. Barreto noted the need to address how clients were deprived of services during the outage. He also highlighted the scale of losses faced by companies due to the lack of power. Xavier Barreto noted that while a recent interruption lasted approximately 9 hours, future outages could last 12, 24, or more hours. Some hospitals are reportedly better equipped than others to handle such events. The association said the need to simulate scenarios where outages last 12, 24, or more hours following a previous 9-hour interruption.
