A dermatologist at Hospital Santa Maria, recently under scrutiny, has reportedly earned more than €700,000 for performing 500 surgeries during extra hours. This revelation comes amid an ongoing audit by IGAS into additional surgical activities within the SNS.
IGAS initiated an audit on Monday into the additional surgical activities conducted in the SNS.
Furthermore, the hospital disbursed nearly €4 million to six other dermatologists between 2021 and 2024, highlighting a significant expenditure on supplementary medical services. This case raises questions about the allocation of resources and the transparency of payments within Portugal's healthcare system.
