A protocol was signed on December 17 between the Municipality of Maia and ARS Norte, which will allow the opening of two dental care offices in Maia, one of them in the Health Unit of Castêlo da Maia.
The integration of dentists in primary health care at the national level and the consequent widening of the scope of the provision of oral health consultations in the SNS deserved the full availability of the Municipality of Maia, which considers it “an area where the fragility of the response of the public health service is notorious ”.
The municipality of Maia assumed the responsibility of providing the stomatology equipment and material, supporting the estimated costs of 90 thousand euros, thus enabling the installation of an Oral Health valence at the Castêlo da Maia Health Center.
