Medical Association and SPMS create working group after power failure that affected SNS systems last week

▤ Summary

The medical association and SPMS agreed to create a working group to monitor failures in SNS information systems more closely. The move follows a recent power outage that disrupted access to electronic prescribing and other critical services used by healthcare professionals. SPMS also said a new data center in Évora should be operational by the end of the year and will provide real-time redundancy with the current Porto facility. The changes point to tighter coordination, better incident response, and stronger infrastructure resilience for Portugal’s public healthcare systems.
