Inclusion Desks provided two thousand services so far, highlights Mónica Seidi
Since the opening of the Region's Inclusion Desks, located in Angra do Heroísmo, Ponta Delgada, Horta and Ribeira Grande, around two thousand services have been provided so far, stated the Regional Secretary for Health and Social Security, Mónica Seidi. The Social Security services in Praia da Vitória, Terceira Island, now also have an Inclusion Desk, a service dedicated to providing support, information and guidance to people with disabilities and impairments, as well as their families and organisations. The new Inclusion Desk is part of the Regional Strategy for People with Disabilities in the Azores (ERIPDA) 2023-2030, which aims to tackle social exclusion and promote a fairer and more inclusive society. Mónica Seidi considered this to be one of several positive measures included in the ERIPDA, with a view to ensuring balanced geographical coverage and qualified technical support in the Region. It also aims to reach a coverage rate that is closer to the population's actual needs, which has now been achieved. "The Inclusion Desks are more than mere services: they evidence a public policy that respects and promotes human dignity," stated the government official. The professionals working at these service desks have received specific training from the National Institute for Rehabilitation, through the Regional Directorate for the Promotion of Equality and Social Inclusion. It ensures that the information provided is accurate and updated and that services are delivered with quality, care, and respect. This training also acknowledges the complexity of issues surrounding disability and the importance of responding with knowledge, empathy, and commitment.

25 thousand registrations target reached on mySaúde Açores
The target of 25 thousand registrations on the mySaúde Açores app was reached last Friday - this figure corresponds to the target set under the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) by the end of September. The achievement of this goal ahead of schedule demonstrates the strong support of the Azorean people and the commitment of health professionals to this pioneering mission to modernise the Regional Health Service. Since its launch in January, the app has brought health care closer to all Azoreans. In its initial phase, it provided features such as consultation scheduling, teleconsultations and access to key clinical data, in addition to allowing multiple users to be linked to a single telephone number, making it easier to monitor children, parents or grandparents. Today, it offers new possibilities that make health management faster and more convenient, such as access to clinical test results. User feedback has been fundamental to the evolution of the application, allowing it to be adjusted to their real needs. The project continues to expand, with new features expected to be introduced soon and the gradual integration of the Divino Espírito Santo Hospital to include all the features already available in the other regional hospitals, namely the Horta Hospital and the Santo Espírito Hospital of Terceira Island. mySaúde Açores is co-financed by the RRP and has Siemens Healthineers as its technological partner. The mission of mySaúde Açores continues, seeking to improve access to health care across all islands and overcome the challenges of remoteness, placing users at the heart of the healthcare system.
