The Council of the Government, which met extraordinarily today, declared a state of regional public disaster for the Azores due to Saturday's fire at the Divino Espírito Santo Hospital (HDES) in Ponta Delgada, which required the evacuation of all the patients from that hospital.

The measure aims to streamline and speed up procedures, particularly public procurement procedures, which will enable HDES to resume its regular operations in the shortest possible time.
