The Tâmega Sousa Health Unit (ULS) will now provide comprehensive care for patients diagnosed with and surgically treated for digestive cancers. Previously, individuals requiring post-surgical treatments were often forced to seek care at other healthcare facilities. This expansion of services aims to deliver complete cancer care locally, eliminating the need for patients to travel for follow-up treatments. The ULS will now manage all stages of care, from diagnosis through recovery, within its existing infrastructure. This development improves accessibility and convenience for patients in the region. The change is expected to streamline the treatment process and enhance patient outcomes. This initiative represents a significant improvement in local healthcare provision.
