20 minutes: reduces waiting times in hospital emergency rooms

At Portimão Hospital, patients waited 17 hours to be seen by a doctor. In the Greater Lisbon region, the situation is less chaotic but in the case of the Amadora-Sintra hospital, the wait exceeds six hours. The hospitals with the lowest pressure are those in the North of the country. In the economy, INE data confirms that inflation fell by almost half last year and stood at 2.4%. In December, the rate rose to 3%. The Economy Minister calls for confidence and caution.
