The Regional Secretariat for Health and Civil Protection, through Order No. 217/2026, has appointed Rui Nuno Fernandes Faria to the position of Regional Fire Inspector of the Regional Civil Protection Service, IP-RAM.
The appointment, made under a service commission regime for a three-year period (renewable), follows a prior competitive procedure (Notice No. 75/2026). Rui Nuno Faria, a Master of Nursing with extensive experience in medical emergency and training, had already been performing duties in the same role since 2025, and is now formally appointed to the position.

The Region amended the programme contracts for joining Madeira’s Integrated Continuing Care Network (REDE) with Living Care Association’s Units I and II. The agreements cover 261 beds and are worth a total of 23,925,733.92 euros.
Natalina Maria Nóbrega Freitas and Sílvia José Oliveira Gomes will fill an Operational Assistant position under permanent contracts starting on 1 October 2026. Their pay will be set at the first pay step, level 5.
