The Regional Secretary for Health and Social Security, Mónica Seidi, met today with the Board of Directors of the Terceira Island Health Unit (USIT), where she announced that the general practitioner coverage rate on the island stands at 92%, exceeding 90% for the first time. On this occasion, the government official presided over a ceremony for the signing of contracts with three doctors specialising in General and Family Medicine, with two of them assigned to Praia da Vitória, which will have a coverage rate of 94%, and one to Angra do Heroísmo, where the rate is now at 90%. "We currently have 12 interns in training, two of whom will complete their internship in 2026. We want to move forward with the recruitment procedure quickly, and later this year, we will launch another procedure for an intern who completed the training programme last week," stated Mónica Seidi. The Regional Secretary also highlighted the increase in healthcare activity in Terceira, with progress in areas such as medical consultations, nursing consultations, physiotherapy sessions and X-ray tests. As part of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP), the government official also announced that 17 vehicles will be purchased for the USIT, representing an investment of nearly € 1 million aimed at improving local care services.

Courses such as MRMI enable professionals to respond more effectively, stresses Mónica Seidi
The Regional Secretary for Health and Social Security, Mónica Seidi, praised the Medical Response to Major Incidents (MRMI) course. She stressed that initiatives such as this "are an opportunity to conduct simulations that closely resemble real-life situations and train professionals, whether in health care or other fields, to respond more effectively." The MRMI is not only aimed at healthcare professionals. It is intended for professionals from different areas of intervention, namely firefighters, emergency technicians, doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, civil protection agents, military and security forces, the Criminal Investigation Police, press officers, journalists, as well as all professionals with management, command and monitoring responsibilities in Integrated Medical Emergency Systems," stressed the government official. The course is an international postgraduate programme whose main goal is to promote an integrated response to disasters by all Civil Protection units. “We must continue to train all entities directly involved in situations such as this, all professionals within the Regional Directorate for Health, Civil Protection and Fire Services, so that we can continue to respond more effectively to situations that could lead to fatalities,” continued Mónica Seidi. This year's edition of MRMI involved 130 participants. It was organised in partnership with the Regional Government, the Praia da Vitória Vocational School, the Praia da Vitória Municipal Council and the Praia da Vitória Humanitarian Association of Volunteer Firefighters.
