Summary:

  • Minister Leitão Amaro incorrectly stated no obstetric emergencies were closed in July in Setúbal Peninsula

  • Fact-checking reveals closures did occur, contradicting the minister's claims

  • This misinformation impacts trust in government communications about healthcare services

The Minister of the Presidency, Leitão Amaro, made a false statement last Friday, claiming that 'so far, in July, there have been no closures of obstetric emergencies in the Setúbal Peninsula.' However, this was not the case—the minister was mistaken about the service.

This revelation raises questions about the accuracy of information provided by government officials regarding healthcare services. The Setúbal Peninsula has been a focal point for discussions on healthcare accessibility, making this misinformation particularly concerning for residents relying on these services.
