The Juntos Pelo Povo (JPP) party is set to host a public debate concerning the future of the Hospital Dr. Nélio Mendonça, a significant healthcare facility in Madeira.

The JPP emphasizes the necessity of a serious, impartial public dialogue to consider various perspectives and gather valuable inputs that can influence the decision-making process.
This discussion arises from the Regional Government's proposal to sell the hospital, sparking significant concern among locals and stakeholders about the future of healthcare services on the island. The hospital, named after Dr. Nélio Mendonça, has long been a cornerstone of the local healthcare system, and its potential sale raises questions about the availability and quality of medical services.
Madeira, being a popular tourist destination, relies heavily on robust healthcare infrastructure not only for its residents but also for the thousands of tourists visiting the island. The ongoing debate highlights the community's need for transparency and thorough consideration of all implications before proceeding with such a critical decision.
