The new Porto Clinical Center, located on the premises of Altice Portugal in the Tenente Valadim Building, provides general and family medicine consultations, specialty consultations, stomatology, clinical psychology, complementary means of diagnosis, occupational medicine exams, clinical analysis and nursing services.
Following a strategy of care and rigor with regard to the health of its beneficiaries and complementing the National Health Service, Altice Portugal, through Altice Cuidados de Saúde, has been investing in this area as a partner of Portugal. This investment translates into more than 35 million euros per year.
Ana Figueiredo, CEO of Altice Portugal, said: "We are very pleased to be experiencing another historic moment in the life of the Altice Healthcare brand. As market leaders, we have been assuming our responsibility by putting one of our greatest assets - technology - at the service of people and of a sector as important as Healthcare. Over time, Altice Cuidados de Saúde has improved the services it provides, clearly demonstrating that the health of our beneficiaries always comes first. We continue to provide the most comprehensive healthcare plans in the country and have clinical centers strategically located throughout the country. On a daily basis, we recognize the importance that people have for our organization. It is impossible to talk about innovation, transformation and leadership without talking about people. Today, Altice Portugal has a strong presence in the telecommunications sector and it's all thanks to the people who work every day to go further. It's up to us to look after them too."
Promoting health and improving quality of life are two concepts that are linked and have been part of Altice Cuidados de Saúde's mission throughout its 27 years of existence.
Altice Cuidados de Saúde has been upgrading its primary health care, namely by reinforcing its network of providers, adding new specialties and improving its facilities. It now has eight clinical centers throughout the country and a mobile unit accessible to all. There are 36,000 beneficiaries of the ACS health plans, a figure that translates into more than 12,000 occupational health examinations, 66,000 consultations and 71,000 clinical analyses every year.
This step reinforces Altice Portugal's commitment to People as a strategic focus for the coming years. People are the present and the future of a company like Altice Portugal, which strives to offer the best products and services and is the undisputed leader in the telecommunications sector in Portugal.
