Duarte appeared to be a normal boy, but at 2 years old was diagnosed with autism. The boy is now 13 years and is more than one waiting to be operated at the Hospital of Ponta Delgada. However, the clinical picture of Duarte gets worse every day.
The teenager can no longer chew food by having almost all decayed teeth and can not go to a conventional dentist. The hospital claims that the couple is on a waiting list, but the desperation of the family begins to increase. The patient's mother states that already have to grind all the food you eat the young, and has no family doctor, a factor that has delayed the process further.
In desperation, the mother delivered a letter from a pediatrician to request the operation. She has written, including a letter to the director of the clinic to explain the whole situation. Jump to a private out of the question because Fernanda Tomé can not sustain the costs. For one, the expected date of operation is the last week of September.

The Minister of Health, Mr Director - General for Health and Dental Association: see here the effects of the ridiculous policy of oral health who play for our country. This is an example of flagrant violation of human rights in Portugal when a child needs medical attention.
A case that deserves to be condemned internationally.
