Secretaria Regional da Saúde e Segurança Social

The Regional Secretary for Health and Social Security, Mónica Seidi, was in Povoação, São Miguel Island, to deliver a new electric vehicle to Obra Social Madre Maria Clara - Açores institution.

The application, amounting to €36,844.20, was approved and ensured the purchase of a nine-seater vehicle under the Generations on the Move (GERMOV) programme.

The vehicle will be used to transport children as part of the childhood centre of that institution.

Accompanied by the Regional Director for Social Solidarity, Andreia Vasconcelos, the Secretary for Health and Social Security recalled that "it is with great pride that the Government of the Azores supports this institution, which does so much to help young people in vulnerable situations."

"We remain committed to working in line with the European Union's ecological concerns," she added.

Mónica Seidi, who is responsible for Social Security alongside Health in the new legislative terms, considers that "this is yet another demonstration of the Azorean Government's commitment to ensuring that these institutions continue to be supported, and it is important to realise that successful solidarity programmes will continue to be part" of the Government's priorities.

GERMOV reinforces the Regional Government's support for the Private Social Solidarity Programmes, Charities and similar organisations that make up the social solidarity network of the Autonomous Region of the Azores, contributing to greater social cohesion and the inclusion of different social groups.
