A recent inspection by the Health Authority has severely criticized the actions of a technician and the regulating doctor at CODU, following a tragic incident in Pombal. The delay in activating the VMER (Emergency Medical Vehicle) by half an hour is believed to have led to the avoidable death of a 53-year-old man. The INEM (National Institute of Medical Emergency) has already initiated disciplinary proceedings against those involved.
The inspection's findings highlight a critical failure in the emergency response protocol, underscoring the importance of timely medical intervention. The case has sparked a broader discussion on the efficiency and accountability of emergency medical services in Portugal.
