As
of Saturday, oral health consultations are beginning to be phased in at
the health centers, initially aimed at more vulnerable users and,
starting in 2017, all registered users. According
to an order published this Friday in the Diário da República, from July
2 pilot experiments are being started in some health centers in Greater
Lisbon and Alentejo to expand the National Program for the Promotion of
Oral Health ( PNPSO).In
the first phase, which runs until 31 December of this year, patients
with diabetes, neoplasias, chronic cardiac or respiratory disease, renal
failure on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, and transplant
patients, enrolled in Centers Groupings (ACES) where the pilot experiences are taking place. In
the second phase, as from 1 January 2017, depending on the assessment
of unmet needs and waiting times, the project can be extended to all
users enrolled in these ACES, in a phased and progressive manner,
depending on the referral By the family doctor.
In the area of the
Regional Health Administration of Lisbon and Vale do Tejo, the pilot
experiences will be held in the ACES of Almada-Seixal (Monte da Caparica
Health Center), Arco Ribeirinho (Moita Health Center), Médio Tejo (Health
of Fátima), Lezíria (Salvaterra de Magos, Cartaxo and Rio Maior Health
Centers), Tejo Estuary (Azambuja, Alenquer and Arruda dos Vinhos Health
Centers) and Oeste Oeste (Health Centers of Lourinhã and Mafra -Ericeira).
Within the scope of the Alentejo Regional Health Administration, pilot experiments are carried out at ACES Alentejo Central, namely at the Montemor-o-Novo and Portel Health Centers.
Users enrolled in these health centers may be referred for oral health consultations following a decision of the family doctor, and the doctor who provides the oral health consultation should maintain close articulation with the other professionals of the family health team. The order specifies that the oral health care included in the pilot experiments only includes those treatments considered necessary in clinical terms, leaving interventions of a strictly aesthetic nature.
Currently, under PNPSO, children and young people under the age of 18 are pregnant, undergoing prenatal surveillance at the National Health Service, elderly beneficiaries of the solidarity supplement and users infected with the HIV / AIDS virus. The PNPSO is reviewed by the Directorate-General for Health until July 29, 2016.
