Waves of criticism after Health Delegate cancels appointments to celebrate the Coast Guard's anniversary on Brava Island

The celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Coast Guard on Brava Island is an important event for the local community and for the institution itself. However, the cancellation of medical appointments scheduled for the day of the celebration caused outrage among residents, who depend on these appointments for essential health care.

Patients who had their appointments canceled expressed frustration and concern, saying their health needs cannot be overlooked in the name of celebration. Some question whether the Health Delegate's participation in the Coast Guard festivities was truly a priority, especially considering the context of high demand and the importance of ensuring the continued availability of medical services.

Many patients traveled from distant locations and when they arrived at the Health Center in Nova Sintra they were faced with the news that the doctor had canceled all appointments, as he would have to go around the island of Brava by sea, in celebration of the thirtieth anniversary. of the Coast Guard..

The situation continues to generate debates about the balance between public commitments and professional responsibilities, with many calling for deeper reflection on how these decisions can directly affect people's lives and the quality of health services in local communities.

On social media, opinions are divided, as some believe that it is unacceptable, on an island with a shortage of professionals in the area of patient care, for a doctor to take a working day off work to go and celebrate, while others, simply ignoring the issue of poorer and needier, people who travel from distant locations, just to congratulate the Coast Guard, wishing everyone success.
