In an interview with Public, Henrique Barros, new president of the International Epidemiological Association, says that there is one to skip meals for lack of money.
The new president of International Epidemiological Association says there is “great food insecure, which means that some people can not afford to eat what they need.” According to this, “between 15% to 20% of people skip meals because they have no money.”
Defending the need to carry out monitoring to assess the impact of the crisis on health, Henrique Barros believes, however that the Directorate General of Health should not be judge in his own cause and that he hoped the government would open tenders for the purpose.
This also stated in an interview to the Public, one of the problems of health Portugal has to do with the type of antibiotics that are consumed rather than the quantity. This criticizes the fact that they always use the most expensive, something that happens due to the influence of the pharmaceutical industry.
