There are transplants at the Curry Cabral Hospital in Lisbon, waiting a year for liver cancer tests, the Daily News reveals on Thursday.
For timely results, patients are forced to resort to the private sector. The Lisbon Central Hospital says that delays in magnetic resonance imaging are "not really urgent cases".
SOS hepatitis, which accompanies liver patients, ensures that there are several cases of recurring delays. "The doctor of another patient, also suffering from liver cysts, asked for an MRI in May of last year to understand what he was doing.It was planned for this month of July ", reports Emília Rodrigues, president of the association, in statements in the morning.
As a result, the DN found that there is now, on average, at least four months of waiting for liver examinations. The Curry Cabral Hospital follows about 2100 transplant patients and last year did 124 liver transplants, which represents half of the national capacity in this area.
