A new member has been appointed to the Advisory Council of the Mission Structure for the Central and University Hospital of Madeira, replacing a previous member.
Joint Order No. 63/2026 from the Regional Secretariats of Health and Civil Protection and Finance has made a change to the composition of the Advisory Council of the Mission Structure for the Central and University Hospital of Madeira (EMHCUM).
The order amends paragraph b) of Joint Order No. 17/2026, which defined the initial composition of the council. The new appointment is as follows:
The Advisory Council of the EMHCUM is composed of seven members from SESARAM, EPERAM, with recognized merit in the health field at regional, national, and international levels. Its function is to advise the Mission Structure responsible for the project of the new Central and University Hospital of Madeira.
SESARAM will keep the Hospital Dr. Nélio Mendonça outpatient clinic in premises leased from CPE - Companhia de Parques de Estacionamento, S.A., from 2027 to 2030. The total rent for the three years will be 381,471.48 euros, exempt from VAT.
A new agreement allows patients from the Regional Health Service to be referred to private providers for fine-needle aspiration biopsies of thyroid nodules and the related analyses. The examinations are paid for by IASAÚDE and must not incur any charges for patients.
The Government Council approved the first amendment to the organisational structure of the Regional Secretariat for Health and Civil Protection. The change concerns Regional Regulatory Decree No. 17/2026/M of 21 September.
