Lagos Municipal Assembly held its 1st Ordinary Session of December 2024 on December 2nd, where it unanimously approved a motion regarding the construction of the Algarve Hospital, presented by the CDU Municipal Group. The Central Hospital of Algarve is deemed essential for enhancing health care services for both residents and tourists. Despite multiple declarations and initiatives prioritizing this project, the construction has faced continuous delays under successive governments. The CDU has consistently advocated for this health priority alongside local communities and health professionals, while the governing parties (PS, PSD, and CDS) have yet to take decisive action. The current PSD/CDS government shows interest in the project but suggests utilizing Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) for construction and management, mirroring the previous PS government's stance. The Assembly demands the transfer of necessary funds from the Ministry of Finance to the Local Health Unit of Algarve for the realization of the Algarve Hospital project, emphasizing the need for a fully public construction and management model. The Assembly's resolutions include: 1. Publicly supporting the construction of the Algarve Central Hospital; 2. Urging the government to expedite project development; 3. Sending this motion to the government, Algarve ULS, and other relevant entities.
