Minister of Health says in Coimbra that the NHS is an "always unfinished work" and "imperfect because it reflects our humanity"

The Minister of Health was present in Coimbra at a ceremony dedicated to the defense and future of the National Health Service. During the event, the government official characterized the NHS as an "always unfinished work" and "imperfect because it reflects our humanity", conveying a message that the health system is a project in constant evolution and improvement.

The ceremony served as a platform to reaffirm the institutional commitment to the sustainability and development of the National Health Service, reinforcing the importance of the public health system for the Portuguese population.

Why this matters

The complaint states that illegal evidence may have been validated in court based on false testimonies, potentially involving crimes of denial of justice, perjury and abuse of power.
