Consultations Canceled Due to Storm Damage
According to recent reports, in-person consultations at the Norton de Matos Health Center were canceled earlier today due to unsuitable conditions for their continuation. The decision was made in response to the severe storm that impacted the Central region in recent days.
Impact of the Storm
A statement from the Local Health Unit (ULS) explained that the Norton de Matos Health Center suffered property damage, leading to water infiltration within the building. This unfortunate situation has necessitated the cancellation of appointments until the facility is deemed safe and operational again.
Rescheduling Appointments
The ULS has assured the public that consultations will be rescheduled as soon as the building is ready to accommodate patients. They are actively working to assess the situation and restore services promptly.
Assessment of Damage
In light of the recent events, the municipality has conducted an evaluation of the damages and identified urgent needs to resolve the issues as quickly as possible.
Other Services Unaffected
It is worth noting that other healthcare services, including the USF Norton de Matos and Briosa, located within the same building, were not affected by the storm and have continued to operate normally.
Further Damage Reports
In related news, strong winds from the storm also caused damage to the roof of a basic and secondary school in Leiria, highlighting the widespread impact of the recent weather conditions.
