Summary:

  • António Gandra d'Almeida resigned as SNS director over allegations of incompatible income.

  • He reportedly worked at Gaia Hospital while managing INEM, contrary to his claims.

  • Gandra transferred his business interests to his minor children, raising questions about his financial ethics.

António Gandra d'Almeida's Controversial Tenure

António Gandra d'Almeida, the executive director of the National Health Service (SNS), recently resigned amid allegations of incompatible income. Reports reveal that Gandra did not only serve two hospitals in the Algarve but also provided services at the Gaia Hospital while leading the Northern Regional Delegation of the National Institute of Medical Emergency (INEM). Despite his claims of only working for the Algarve hospitals, records suggest otherwise.

Background on Gandra's Business Ventures

Additionally, Gandra reportedly held positions in two companies, which he transferred to his minor children. This raises further questions about his financial dealings and commitments while managing public health services.

The situation sheds light on the potential conflicts of interest within the upper echelons of Portugal's healthcare management, prompting discussions about transparency and accountability in public service roles.
