434. Oral health makes contracts with private: More spending on health was worse

The implementation of oral health programs using the contracting of private policy followed by the last government, has dragged down the oral health of the Portuguese.

In the case of oral health program for children and adolescents, it was not enough to convey to the public idea of a new program, in practice when it comes to replacing one program by another program, now we all know that the new program adds to further discrimination among children and young people with privileged access to that program and the other children and young people who will definitely stay away from any kind of support.

Extremely aberrant is the fact that children and adolescents may only access the program at certain ages: for the government, dental caries and other oral health problems appear in pre-defined ages.

And no one speaks of embezzled thousands of euros to promote media campaigns, as part of the media is already supported by our taxes.

Increasingly seen to indemnify the state by the oral health of the Portuguese, already almost definitely delivered to private interests who seek profit in the first place. We try to squander the last remaining resources in the National Health Service (SNS), many now see as many people as attractive source of profit and less about preventing the greater market share in the future.

One thing all agree are also: implement a bulletin Oral Health for all children and adolescents in Portugal is one thing that you can not hear because it can only be done in less developed countries as Portugal, where parents do not have sufficient income to afford the oral health of children.

The sad thing is the black spot that organizations of dentists may be leaving, to collaborate with all this farce. Does not have any strength to the country show clearly that spending more of our taxes is the worst result in oral health?
