Reforma(s) da Saúde

EUA e UK, países com organizações políticas e sociais distintas, tentam levar a cabo reformas profundas dos seus Sistema de Saúde. Apesar das motivações e projectos políticos distintos, estas reformas apresentam em comum o dinamismo em busca de objectivos como a redução de custos, melhoria do acesso e qualidade, investimento significativo nas tecnologias de informação.
Entre nós, depois da saída de CC, a inépcia da Ministra da Saúde, Ana Jorge e os cortes orçamentais determinados pela actual crise, ameaçam conduzir o nosso SNS à destruição.
