The bailout request from Portugal international institutions reflects the dire state of the public accounts of the country, where they spend excessively more than is produced as a result of disastrous economic policies followed by the two main parties that ruled Portugal in the last thirty years (Party socialist and Social Democratic Party), with the connivance of blatant indirect and current President of the Republic, who left the country to the brink of bankruptcy. These two parties have become the main focus that undermined the national economy, by creating holes devastating national accounts to bet on a model of unsustainable economic growth, applying the main national resources on non-productive investments, increasing the weight of the state in the economy and accentuating a vast web of patronage and corruption, in the exercise of public office, leaving Portugal to live, often at the expense of dividends input from the European Union.
The state apparatus is now a very heavy machine, which has grown exponentially and today that drowns most of our resources, affecting strongly the development process of any country, everything is controlled by the government, bureaucratic and produces no wealth. Public bodies, both belonging to the central government as belonging to local government entities are mostly serving, first, to ensure employment to friends and friends of friends of political power, often without any merit for the performance of functions so that people are named (with few exceptions), after the patent on electoral events. Thus, the state is composed mainly of people who produce no wealth for the country, representing the main factor of economic stagnation and retrogression.
Within the central public administration, and in particular the Ministry of Health, today witnessed the most barbaric attacks to the ideals of the spirit of the Revolution of April 25, 1974, dismantling health services and transferring part of the sector to private, razing access to health care to needy populations and particularly outside major urban centers. However, the Ministry of Health does nothing to dramatically reduce their unnecessary expenses, including cutting its staff in almost anything that produces and serves only to receive salaries at the end of each month. The development of information technologies and communication seem to take ages to reach many administrative sectors of the Ministry of Health: automatic processes that lead and five minutes by a technician perform administrative authority may still take several days or weeks to be performed by dozens employees generally incompetent to their respective positions (unless otherwise rare exceptions). Thus, certain offices and staffs of the Ministry of Health employ wide human resources produce little or nothing, representing a huge financial burden for the Ministry of Health and supported by those who actually produce wealth in Portugal, all these people should be recycled and put into functions really productive and financial resources for the valences removed entirely necessary, particularly for the essential, that is, made available to the population, in the form of medical care.
In oral health, the country has steadily recede over the last few years, so much so that this year there is one vacancy for the training of doctors dentists, so within a few short years, we will have to go abroad to get going a dental consultation. There is no guideline for the sector up and bought the silence of certain sectors of the oral health check - dentists, public health fraud that still nobody could explain why it has certain value and can only be obtained at certain ages, as oral health had the privilege to be specific only be required at a certain date pre - established, however, certain offices of the Ministry of health sink in study after study that, once completed, are stored in drawers and not good for anything, except to justify another investment that no one knows who served.
Whenever an external entity willing support, the Ministry of Health lends itself to collaborate in promoting oral health of the Portuguese, contributing leaflets about everything and anything, however, and unless such situations merely precise and waste, nobody heard in Portugal in promoting oral health screenings in schools and forwarding all problematic situations for treatment with the family physician, knowing that prevention can save you now, according to experts, nearly 30 000 euros per person.
Finally, oral health reflects the state of the country, drifting, dying, managed by politicians and rulers who are much to be desired as citizens of goods and administrators of public causes.
