- Abstract
Em 2011, Portugal assinou um plano de resgate financeiro, que incluía um Memorando de Entendimento, com o objetivo de reduzir o défice e a dívida pública e conter o crescimento da despesa pública. As políticas para o setor da saúde abrangeram o financiamento do SNS e dos subsistemas, o mercado do medicamento e as farmácias, a prescrição e a monitorização da prescrição, a centralização das compras e da contratação pública, os cuidados de saúde primários, os serviços hospitalares e os serviços transversais. Passados cinco anos, a maioria das políticas continua vigente. Contudo, a maior parte aguarda uma avaliação da sua adequação e capacidade para resolver os problemas estruturais do SNS. Apesar da crise, dos diferentes interesses e atores, é consensual, em todos os sectores da sociedade portuguesa, que o direito constitucional à saúde deve continuar a ser efetivado através do SNS, garantindo, desta forma, a cobertura universal de cuidados. Contudo, a prestação de cuidados deve continuar a ser garantida pelos sectores público, privado e social sendo que o desafio será responder às necessidades de saúde mantendo a qualidade e sustentabilidade da prestação pública de cuidados essencialmente através do SNS., Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical, v. 17 n. 1 (2018): Suplemento Nº1

- Abstract
Introduction: Evidence shows that pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective in preventing sexually acquired human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Whilst its implementation is limited to the US and some countries where demonstration projects have taken place, PrEP has recently been introduced in Portugal. Successful implementation of PrEP requires actively engaging and involving of health care providers (HCP) in Portugal, yet little is known about their knowledge, attitudes, and acceptability towards this novel intervention. Material and methods: An online survey of convenience-sampled Portuguese HCP was conducted in January 2016, prior to PrEP implementation, to determine their knowledge, attitudes, practices, and acceptability of PrEP. Results: A total of 96 respondents nationwide took part in the study, of whom the majority were females (60.3%), specialist physicians/junior doctors (39%/53%), working in the field of HIV for 1 to 5 years (42.3%). Over half (51%) considered having an average or high knowledge of PrEP, and this was more common amongst infectious diseases specialists. Major concerns regarding PrEP implementation included a rise in sexually transmitted infections and increased antiretroviral resistance. Despite only 31.3% being asked about PrEP in the future, the majority (75%) considered that PrEP should be made available in Portugal. The main barrier to PrEP implementation was the lack of knowledge and information to HCP. Conclusions: Portuguese HCP demonstrated variable degrees of knowledge around PrEP, yet most would support its introduction in the country. Concerns were raised about potential consequences of PrEP roll out as well as implementation challenges that ought to be addressed before PrEP introduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background After a long civil war that destroyed much of the country's health infrastructure, Angola faced the challenge of reconstruction while fighting HIV/AIDS. This paper analyses recent progress in access and use of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services in Angola. Methods National level PMTCT data between 2005 and 2012 were analysed. Data were collected from national and international databases and reports. This study assesses progress made, developed best-fit regression models and predicted future points for four major PMTCT indicators. Results Between 2005 and 2012, the number of PMTCT sites increased from 9 to 347, and the number of HIV tests preformed to pregnant women increased from 12 061 to 314 805. However, in 2012, 46% of the pregnant women who tested positive for HIV at PMTCT sites and only 36% HIV exposed infants were receiving antiretroviral (ARV) prophylaxis. Based on current trends, this study predicts that by 201 5, 35.5% of pregnant women will be tested for HIV, 1.1 % of women will test positive for HIV at PMTCT and 46% of HIV-positive pregnant women will receive antiretroviral therapy. Conclusions Despite expansion of PMTCT services, urgent action is needed to rapidly scale-up HIV prevention and treatment services for HIV-positive pregnant women and for children.

Members of the European Influenza Surveillance Network: Portugal (Figueiredo Augusto Gonçalo, Machado Jorge, Moreira Guiomar Raquel, Nogueira Paulo, Rebelo de Andrade Helena, Rodrigues Ana Paula) The yearly influenza epidemics during each winter season vary in burden and severity. During the 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons, all-cause excess mortality was observed during periods of high influenza virus circulation. Our aim is to describe and compare the pattern of influenza virus circulation and related disease severity by number of patients and fatal cases in intensive care units (ICUs) across European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries for the seasons 2016/17 and 2017/18. As influenza circulation progressed from a west to east direction across Europe in 2017/18, a better understanding of the current epidemiological situation might help to prepare countries in the eastern part of the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region for high influenza activity and severity. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
